This is for today's WAYS TO USE IT CHALLENGE # 546 - Make It Metal and Wednesday's SKETCH CHALLENGE # 555. I was at work when the SC was finally loaded so I didn't get to play but I knew exactly what I wanted to do as soon as I saw it. This card has been in my head since then and today it came to life. I dry embossed the top panel of vanilla with Textile EF, the bottom panel was stamped in versamark then metallic gold EP applied and heat embossed. The inside was stamped in delightful Dijon. The vanilla card base was matted with metallic gold dp. I found some gold wedding rings and tied them together with some gold ribbon. I LOVE how this turned out and hope you do too.
ETA: I have NO idea why this post is showing so large. I tried loading it 2 times and it showed the same way. I have used Picmonkey collage for years now and not had this happen. Sorry. Tomorrow is another day.
TFL and visit MY GALLERY and MY BLOG for a close up on this pic.

Fabulous! Love, love this. Just the perfect golden wedding anniversary card.
I've noticed some of my uploads are larger too and I'm not doing anything different.
