I made this card for my sister and brother-in-law's anniversary, which is today. I forgot until last night. Shame on me! I did call her first thing this morning and wish her a Happy Anniversary, and tell her that her card would go out tonight. May have to hand carry it!
I used brick wall background paper for the wall of the restaurant (kind of put me in mind of Lady N The Tramp style) The brick walkway is from a picture we had taken at Oriole Stadium when we were there last year (I keep all the misprints for such things as this). I had a window with curtain and cut apart and used the sill part for the door frame at the top. Took white cardstock and sponged with purple plum for the doorway. I used silver stickles on the ends of the curtain rod, and lavender stickles for the tieback on the curtains and fold areas (hopefully they turn out). The chef is edged with creamy caramel, and the scarf and cuff are glitter gel pen. Crystal affects on the buttons and shoes.

Super cool look! The curtains are great - the brick - the floor - you really put it together! Colors are perfect. I bet the stickles are even better in person! Good job! TFS
