Anniversary card featuring handmade paper, embossed vellum and mesh and a stitch serendipity heart

I have been working on getting cards ready for the special occasions of my family members.  

I made this one for an anniversary!!  I layered embossed vellum over commercial handmade paper and added a yellow ribbon tied with one knot to hold them together.  I layered the serendipity heart over a piece of mesh which was embossed with gold and silver embossing powder and then onto a piece of my own handmade paper.  I stitched through all the layers down the center of the heart and then adhered this large element to my terracotta card front.  Very happy with this sketch and will use it again!!
