I need a special anniversary card for a friend who is celebrating his 40th wedding anniversary, so I grabbed my favorite-set-of-the-moment, Choose Happiness, and created this beauty.
I started by stamping the flower three times with VersaMark and clear embossed them. From there, I added a scalloped strip of Silver Glimmer Paper and a bit of Pear Pizzazz cs that was stamped with one of the images from the set. Over those two strips, I added the sentiment die cut (stamped with Pear Pizzazz ink onto Very Vanilla cs and run through my Big Shot with the smallest of the Labels Collections Framelits) with Dimensionals and the bird, which was stamped with Crumb Cake ink onto Crumb Cake cs, cut out, sponged with Soft Suede ink and popped up with a double set of Dimensionals. For the top corner, I stamped the woodsy banner onto Crumb Cake cs with Soft Suede ink, ran it through my Big Shot with the smallest of the Banners Framelits, sponged the edges with Soft Suede ink and adhered with a spot of glue at the top only. This was I could roll up the tips for a little more texture. It's embellished with a Soft Sky button/Linen Thread bow combo and a strip of pearls. Finally, I colored one of the largest pearls with the lightest Old Olive Blendability pen and adhered it to the sentiment. Oh...and the Soft Sky cs layer was sponged with Soft Sky ink and adhered to the Soft Sky card base, which was also sponged with Soft Sky ink.

OMG Regina...I would recognize your card instantly as being a "ReginaBG" style card. It is SO You! I love every single detail...the colors, sponging, clear EB, Freestyle layout, cut out and sponged bird, colored pearl, curled banner and way cool string of pearls and cool way you tied your linen thread in your button.
All those little touches that make a very special and creative anniversary card. The couple will Love It too! TFS Regina.
