Anniversary card

I have used this week's Friday Sketcher to make an wedding anniversary card for my parent. To be honest I think mum will think it is a bit on the fussy side as she doesn't 'do' flowers on cards ... but I found these roses at the bottom of my stash box and thought I ought to use them!I watercoloured the image and inked the edges in a gold based ink. I covered some of the matting paper with lacey ribbon. The image was cut out using my nesties and the tags using my sizzix die. I glimmer misted the cream flowers with tattered rose and added a red rose to the tag. The scroll/swirl is made using my new EK success scroll/swirl punches that arrived this morning. I finshed it off with a stamped swirl and a heart charm.


Recipe:
Stamp(s): Penny Black You're a treasure; swirl Freebie
Colouring Media: Distress inks, Papermania ink pads
Papers: Papermania Warm Nostaglic
Embellishments: Prima flowers, roses and ribbon from stash, tags using Sizzix tag die
