Anniversary card featuring die cut hearts, shimmery paper and cardstock and some lace


The last of my family cards for July!!  For my youngest daughter and her husband for their anniversary.  I found several heart die cuts in my stash and added several shimmery pearl hearts to go with them. I chose a large envelope and made a dark purple card to fit inside.  I cut a piece of dark purple shimmery paper to fit on the front with an even border.  I used my fingers to manually emboss this layer with a bit of texture using a texture plate.  It is not visible in the photo and some of the texture was smoothed out in the process of gluing it to the front of my card.  It still had enough to break up the expanse of the shimmery paper which is what I wanted.  I mounted the hearts on the top portion of my card.  I added a piece of lace to the lower section and added a small oval greeting punchie.  I have really enjoyed stretching my boundaries and trying new sketches and ideas for my July cards!!
