Happy Anniversary!

I needed an Anniversary card for my brother and his wife and this is what I came up with. I have a stamping demonstrator friend Sandy who's anniversary card in the Split Coast gallery inspired me. She wheeled on the leaves and embossed them in silver. Such a beautiful and simply elegant card. I just loved the silver embossing on the white card stock. Thanks Sandy for the inspiration!

I used the Petals jumbo wheel by Stampin' Up! For the little circles on the left I just highlighted one design on the wheel and embossed it. A ribbon there looked silly and brads cheapened the look of the card. SO I incorporated the wheel into to bottom of the card. I think it ties it all together. I added a layer of the brushed silver card stock and had a very simple and quick anniversary card. I got it out in the mail today and they should get it just in time for their anniversary! I just LOVE using the silver embossing powder. It has to be one of the quickest colors to liquefy and not only that it is one of the smoothest looking colors too.
