I have used chalks to colour the image, which I won in Blog Candy for Sharon and this is the first time I have inked it up, but won't be the last! I have used DP and embossed CS for the different panels and have sponged around all of them! Lace and ribbon have been added along with the gorgeous flowers that arrived in a RAK form the lovely Sabrina and added some silver embellies!!
I need to get some anniversary cards done for one of the Boutiques that sell my cards, so thought this might be a great image...I do try and keep the sentiments fairly 'generic' so they can be used for a number of occasions, I also try to make two cards at a time!
Edit: Technically this card was uploaded right on midnight, my time...so that qulaifies it for this weeks Stampin'b's challenge - to use chalk - I love using chalks...!

Well, Linda, I posted a comment, but it didn't show up. Last time I redid one, it posted 2 comments. So, I'll try again. I just LOVE this card. The image is so sweet and your coloring is AMAZING. I love all the papers your chose, your sponging, pearls, flowers and silver embellishments. This is a really nice feeling card. What an amazing job you do my friend!! TFS!
