50th Wedding Anniversary card

Hi all,

Today I am sharing a card I made for my In-Law's 50th Wedding Anniversary.
I used Cuttlebug 5x7 Embossing Plus in Brocade Window on Coordinations Glittery paper. I can't remember the name of this color. Its a golden beige. Its pretty sparkly. I cut the 50 using storybook, and the "th" from Gypsy Font. I welded them together.

Here is a close up of the front flower. I used Flower Shoppe for the flower and leaves. The flower is Fun4 Cut at various sizes. I also cut some layers of Fun 3 at various sizes for the center of the flower. I made a Tulle round flower by twisting the tulle and sticking it on glue paper. The button in the center is from my Grandmother's stash of old buttons. The crochet doily under the flower was from my stash. I also included a stick pin from a set from K & Company. The silky ribbon was also from my stash.

Here is the sentiment I printed on a sheet of patterned paper I had.

This was a difficult card for me to make. Its a little bit more fancy than I am used to making, and I really do like how it came out, however, I spend a good portion of the day making it, so I probably won't make many this fancy. LOL

Thanks for visiting today!

Have a Great and Crafty Day!

Celebrating Creativity Monthly Challenge.

The Cricut Circle Blog's first monthly challenge is to make a project about celebrating creativity. I chose to make a 12 x12 layout using one of my favorite Creativity..."Do something Creative everyday."

This layout uses a number of cartridges. Jubilee's Runt font for the do something and everyday. Plantin Schoolbook for the creative. Storybook for the flowers, and Imagine More Cards for the butterfly. I printed the butterfly twice, and trimmed one down for the top layer. I added some tiny gems on the wings.

The Creative was printed on the Imagine. Each Letter was flood filled with a different pattern and then printed and cut. The flowers were also flood filled using Imagine patterns. The pewter charms were from a scrapbooking set I received as a gift.

All patterned paper was printed using the Imagine, both Imagine More Cards and Better Together cartridges.
