I had already made a card for my Mom & Dad's 64th Wedding Anniversary (which is next week ), but when I saw what today's challenge was over on "try a new technique", I had to made them a new one. Why? The challenge is "Inspired By Belleek Pottery" in Ireland, and my Mom is 100% Irish
The stamp sets I used are both from ODBD. The first (and it doesn't show up very well), is from their Daisy set and is stamped lightly behind the sentiment to compliment the EF. The sentiment is from their Special Blend set. I added pearls around the die just for a little pizzazz, and one ribbon down center of card.
This was a fun Inspiration Challenge. Hope my parents like it

Barb, give them both! Your Mom will be ecstatic about this one...I am!! It is gorgeous! I love the formal look you achieved and the beautiful EF bg and handsome trim down the middle.

Oh so pretty Barbie. Maybe you could print up a little blurb about the Irish leaning of this style and put it on the back of the card for her to read everytime she picks up your card. 64 years... that is so grand!!!
