Hey there! Today I have a special card for a special couple. Nancy & John are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary today! The family decided to surprise them with a "card shower".

 I'm trying to make 2 of every card I create so I can show how easy it is to turn a sketch for two different looks. I mailed the "portrait" layout and kept the "landscape" for my display.

This couple's wedding fulfilled a little-girl dream; I was their flower girl.I can't find a picture right now, so imagine a skinny pixie-haired five year old, white eyelet dress, full skirt, pink sash, white gloves and lacy anklets. That's me!

Everything is heat embossed with gold powder, inside & out. After I embossed the greeting, I cut it out with one of the Ovals Framelits.

A tip: When embossing the Gold Foil Sheet, you MUST rub it with the Embossing Buddy FIRST!

Inside I cut an extra 5 1/4" x 4" layer of Very Vanilla to emboss the sentiment and the Blended Bloom flowers. Very Vanilla is a lighter-weight card stock; with three layers on the front this card would not have stood up. Adding the second layer makes it sturdier.

I lined the envelope with Gold Fancy Foil Vellum.

Another tip: A card with no bumpy embellishments does not extra postage!
