I like to sometimes "reverse" the sentiments on my cards. In this case, I stamped what would ordinarily be on the inside, on the outside--then stamped Happy Anniversary on the inside.
I cut and snipped and snipped and cut the roses and leaves, then shabbied them up w/SU kraft white and Ranger di. I stamped the bg in SU N of N (lightly inked), w/a stamp labeled Feather Ticking (cupcake liner.) Added SU fancy green ribbon (darn, can barely see) and two different cream (frosting) layers of ribbon lace that I got at JoAnn's. Added leaves and roses. Cut two SB fancy labels. Adhered one to card front. Stamped PTI sentiment and Ranger distress-inked up the edges. of the second one. Used gigantic, think dimensionals (brand ?) to pop up. And that was all she wrote ... .
THANKS for looking! Have a GREAT, memory-making weekend!

Oh, I LOVE the homespun feel of that feather ticking background. It is a perfect understatement for the gorgeous focal lace and amazing paper roses. I also love the warm vintage elegance in your sentiment.
