It is my pleasure to be your hostess in the Color Challenge this week. I've chosen Calypso Coral, Mint Macaron and Old Olive for our colors. The dessert option is Designer (patterned) paper (purchased or hand made!).
This card is for a very special event. Last Saturday was my husband's and my 56th wedding anniversary. This is the card I gave him. We celebrated with our family and had a wonderful time!
I stamped three of the Bitty Bears, cut them out with my Scan 'n Cut, and then colored them with Copic markers. Don't they look festive?!?! I cut a piece of Old Olive DS paper and stamped and embossed the scripty "I love you." I fitted that behind the collage stitched frame and glued it onto the background layers. Popped up the bears on dimensionals and hit the balloon, heart and cupcake with a glitter brush, and added a few Nuvo drops.
Thanks for stopping by, and please play along with us this week!

What a sweet card, Barbara! Love your design with the outside scallop frame atop the background dsp and then the interior frame to showcase the festive little bears!
How wonderful for you two to be together for so many decades! Big congrats, my friend!
