This is for the parents of a dear friend who reside in the Pittsburgh, PA area. They just celebrated their 50th anniversary, so I chose the Pittsburgh colors of Black and Gold for my card. Baroque swirl is embossed in black. Small flowers are stamped in Sahara Sand. The '50' is a non-SU number stamp. It's stamped in BBlack on Vanilla, CM gold, and a BBlack scallop. It rests on a couple of wedding bells from Target $1 spot, embellished in pearls with a small white bow. Sentiment stamped on Vanilla, up on dimensionals, with pearl brads. The main image is mounted on SU DP, CM gold and BBlack. I hope they like it!
Thanks for looking.

I did use your plan and made a great card. My 11yodd likes it a lot--the acid test.
I SO wish I had the technology to show you...close your eyes now and imagine...(guess you'll have to have someone read the description if your eyes are closed haha)
I used SU's retired Baroque ds paper with Old Olive and River Rock. For the bells, I used my (retired) Wrought Iron corner punch, and then cut along the rounded edge. I added a silver brad in the center as the clapper.
Thank you thank you!
