It is great when the elements of a sketch lend themselves easily to a card I need to create. My Aunt and Uncle are celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary this fall, so the sketch was great starting point for their card.
I started with an A-7 cream card base, and die cut a rectangle section for the main panel using Elizabeth Craft Designs Stitched Rectangles. Wedding Bells by DeNami Design released in 2004 is stamped in Delicata Golden Gltiz. I used this stamp on my wedding invitations in 2004, and I think this is the first time it has seen ink since! The sentiment is from Sincere Sentiments by SC Designs from February 2017. It is one of those sets that come packaged with Cardmaking & Papercraft from the United Kingdom. It has been a very versatile set! It is heat embossed with clear embossing powder over Delicata Golden Glitz.
To add a bit of bling I trimmed a section of Paper Studio's Glittered Cardstock in gold for the bottom panel of the sketch. The "50" is die cut from the same with Quickutz Frankie font. I have paper packs from about 2006 that were purchased at Costco that my mom, sister and I split, so that we have two of each sheet. Obviously that was plenty as many sheets are still in my stash! Elizabeth Craft Designs Stitched Circles is used to die cut the small circle from this swirl embossed Mulberry paper.
