Jen gave us a fun CAS challenge this week to "bling it up" with glitter, gems, pearls or liquid pearls while still keeping it CAS. I must admit this was a challenge! I needed an anniversary card for my aunt & uncle's anniversary which is their 40th so I went with lots of silvery bling. I stamped the flourish in silver and embossed in the same. I accented with a rhinestone. I cut some glittery paper (I don't like to work with glitter so I love getting the effect without as much of the mess) for a scalloped edge as well as the numbers I stamped my sentiment directly onto my paper, but got a smear so I stamped another onto paper and popped it up over the smear (I even had to do this twice!!!). I popped my main panel as well.

A beautiful card for your aunt and uncle. I know this one will stand out among all the others they receive. I too have been married for 40 years, just not to the same husband. Congratulations to a couple who has done that!!

I absolutley love your card, Karen. Although it's blue, it is a cheerful blue, especially with the white. I love the sentiment too. A very classy card. I checked out some of your other cards too. I love them too!
