Korin gave us a lovely sketch with rectangles. I decided to make a silver Anniversay card. The background paper is DCWV Linen Closet and has that shimmer already on it. The next layer is from the DCVW Old World and I added charcol chalk to the edges. The next layer (working our way up) I used the Romantic Rectangles SB die and stamped the budding plant. I did add just a touch of chalk to the edges also. The top layer I used another romatic rectangle di and stamped my sentiment with a mini clear stamp. The brads are American Craft and the flower is by Prima. I used two sizes of sheer white ribbon with silver glitter. Thank you so much for taking a look!

GORGEOUS card, Kathleen. Love your choice of rich damask DPs with the soft chalk edgings. The pale aqua flower picks up some of the iridescence from the bg DP. Stunning!

Kathleen this is so so pretty. Even with all the glitter it remains soft and romantic. This would make a great wedding card as well!
