A friend asked me to create a 70th wedding anniversary card - imagine that!!!! - being married for 70 years!!! Anyway, I looked up to see what the color for 70 was - platinum - well, no brainer there - use liquid platinum embossing powder. So die cut the butterfly, happy and numbers 70 - embossed them and composed the card. Hadn't really planned on putting the "happy" on a slant, but after playing around decided it looked perfect that way. Had just bought the gold floss at Michael's and added that.
(inside)
The sequins were a new purchase also and thought they looked rather platinum also - put tiny champagne colored pearls from Michael's in the center of each one. I hope she likes the card!Will enter this in CAS-ology "flutter" challenge.
Supplies:
Dies: PTI "Life is Beautiful" butterfly and Circle background; HA "Happy" DC117; Provo numbers
Other: Ranger liquid platinum embossing powder; HA "anniversary" stamp CL342; Teresa Collins' Tinsel & Company sequins
