This card is the one I made for my mom and dad for their 60th Wedding Anniversary.
It is a full sheet folded in half, so it measure 8.5 inches by 5.5 inches. I started with my JustRite Stamper. I stamped the words, then stamped the '60.' Then I added the heart, which is from a Paper Inspirations set and is stamped with a Versamagic pad and embossed with Iridescent Sparkle embossing powder. I mounted it on a circle cut from Papertrey Ink's Sweet Blush, then on a scalloped circle cut from vellum. ItÂ’s popped up with Pop Dots. The left panel is embossed with a Cuttlebug folder. I brayered the folder with Versamark before embossing, then used Iridescent Sparkle embossing powder on it, too. It is also mounted on Sweet Blush, as is the bottom layer. The butterflies are punched from vellum with a Martha Stewart punch and are also popped up on Pop Dot pieces. I scored lines on both sides of the ribbon, which is from Papertrey Ink. I added pearls of different sizes to the butterflies, the lower-right corner and also on the sentiment circle. I had put asterisks on the sides of the sentiment, but I covered them with pearls to match the others.

Oh how I wish I had these stamps. My parents are also celebrating their 60th. Theirs is on July 16th. Think you could make me the circle with the heart and the 60th Mom and Dad? Love it.

This is gorgeous and thanks for the details on how you did the embossing. I am going to have to try that because this is just fabulous. Congrats to your parents, that is quite an accomplishment.
