This card was created with a third piece of the white fabric collage I made a while back. I hand cut a heart from some beautiful fabric and stitched it to my white collage background using all over stitching after I had gone all around the edge. I used coordinating thread and then decided to add a row of green decorative stitching around the edge. It did not show up as much as I would have like. I created a layered button to add to my heart. I started with a red circle to which I added a gold embossed border. I added a green circle which I over stamped with little bubbles. Next, I added a brown heart and tied them all together with gold cording. I stitched this large element to a piece of scrapbook paper uisng dark red thread which framed my piece nicely. I adhered this large piece to an off white card front. For my greeting, I stamped "Happy Anniversary" (SU) on a strip of kraft cardstock in brown, trimmed one end with a tag die to get a nice scalloped design with a hole in it. I flagged the other ends and then ran my pattern tracing wheel on all the straight edges. I tied on a piece of gold embroidery thread and tied a knot then slipped the greeting over the button. I used a small piece of double sided tape to hold the greeting from moving. Therese
