I used this to inspire my choice of colors for the DP for today -http://www.amyatlas.com/index.php/main/portfolio/.
Debzi333 is being honored in the Queen for the Day game thread this week end. Congratulations, Deborah. You have a lovely gallery and are such an encourager with your comments. (Great name, btw - it is our daughter's name!)
I did not look far to find this card Happy Anniversary! by debzi333 at Splitcoaststampers
I chose it for the colors, dp, and most especially the look of the ribbon and the ovals.
It did not take long to realize my ovals do not have the impact of hers with the tiny pink spots showing - my blue.grey layer seems a bit too large. I will try again! Her image reminded me of this one, from a member of wishRAK.
I find anniversary cards a bit of a challenge - not too feminine, but not totally masculine, either.
Must rush - dh is ready to walk out the door and I do not want him to leave without me!

If your DH knew what you were working on, he'd wait all day!!! This is gawgus and I agree with you, Anniversary cards are hard. I think you nailed this one though. I also disagree with your thoughts on the oval treatments; I think they are PERFECT! I love the vintage feel of this. Beautifully done.
