Hello My Blogging Friends...
I am back to post a card that I helped my friend make last night as she took some time with me to learn some techniques and methods on how I put together cards. We have been wanting to get together and do some stuff together and we had fun talking about all kinds of things as we worked on this card. When I asked her to think of a type of card she wanted to create, she chose to make a card for special friends of hers who are celebrating a 50th wedding anniversary today!! Imagjne 50 years together with your spouse...Wow! Now we all know that that is a special milestone for some couples and many couples never make it that far. I know them too and can attest that they are a special couple who have contributed so much towards our community throughout their lives. Happy Anniversary Nick and Nadia!
On this card we decided on a few basic techniques and methods, using many of my favourite tools. Of the JustRite Stamps, we chose two Oval sets and we stamped the inside sentiment with black ink but on the outside element, we heat embossed the stamp image in gold embossing powder in keeping with the cream and gold color scheme. This couple are so NOT showy or blingy types of people so we kept the gold of the golden anniversary colors down to a matt gold and not the shiny foil gold that I love.
I love the monochromatic feel to this card and I love that we used two awesome Oval JustRite Stamp Sets that are amazing for this application. The Justrite Stamp sets take embossing with colored embossing powders and the heat gun so nicely, they turn out so crisp and clear if done with care and attention and the finished product is so elegant and dimensional. I love it!
