In pic looks like pink background but put that under my card as scanner does not like all white cards. But can add the pink as looks good either way. Have white card base, then piece ran thru embossing folder, then die cut the floral piece colored it. My huge problem was the gold glitter like cardstock for the oval die cut---used wax paper, dryer sheets ran it back and forth so many times in making, some of all of those like 200 little squares came out, then used a brush and or came out then had to hand push all the rest out which was the gold piece, then it separated and the white background paper came off then there was the like glue between the two pieces so was like 400 tiny pieces grrrrrrrrr. but alas it did work out. The love birds were ones saved from Pinterest few years ago so shrunk then, printed out, colored more white on them, and die cut heart ----did the edges and the no. 50 in versa mark and gold eb powder popped all together and on the card front----congrats to the couple celebrating all these years together.---Next time will use regular paper as did a sample and all came out great the die just did not like the glitter paper!

Oh man. I totally get your frustration but from where I sit I think it was totally worth it. That glittery paper looks fab. This is a gorgeous anniversary card!

Gold glitter card, ah! It must look lovely, that oval lattice was what first caught my eye, but I feel your pain. I've struggled with detailed snowflake cuts and glitter card. Some of it is definitely MUCH harder to cut and does require a bit of manual cutting. Your bird image is great, and I love the flowers. You've also used one of my top favourite embossing folders, but it's funny, I don't know if I've ever used it for a full background like this.
