The theme is Graduation OR Anniversary, chosen by Buffy.
I made this card for my dear friends' 65th Wedding Anniversary, which is Sapphire - so is 45th Anniversary so a bit confusing! Anyway went with blue and white and added some bling to the stamped, embossed numerals. I cut out the numbers and popped them up on foam for a little dimension. the stamped, embossed sentiment banner was treated the same way. The numerals are part of a clear stamp set- Rufus Rabbit Decorates, they are pretty large the card base is 7 x 7 inches.
There's more inspiration from my teamies at Fab'n'Funky Challenge blog, and of course we'd love to see what you can create for this challenge
Thanks for visiting
