Golden Wedding Anniversary

Summer is a popular time of the year to get married and to celebrate wedding anniversaries. My card today has been made for the Golden Wedding Anniversary of my son in law's parents. Yes 50 years of marriage. (My husband and I are not far off as we celebrate our 43rd wedding anniversary next month!). This is the special card I made for them and as such it has lots of extra details. Obviously you could scale these down and use the basic design to make something similar.

Tutorial

enter image description here

I cut a piece of white smooth card 4 1/2" by 7 1/4". I sprayed a little squeezed lemonade distress stain spray and added a mist of water then dried using a heat tool (or leave to dry).

Using the Bubbles and fizz stencil I added some colour using distress ink pads with a round foam blending tool, starting with Squeezed Lemonade. Then Pumice Stone.

And finally I added Lost Shadow.

I die cut a number "50" using gold card with the balloons dies.

Using my Sizzix die cutting machine.

The numbers die cut perfectly.

Next I placed the heart ink stencil near the top of the card and blended through wild honey distress ink.

I stamped the "fizz" stamp inside the heart using Morning mist Versafine Clair ink.

I then stamped the bottle onto green card using Nocturne Versafine Clair. I repeat stamped the image onto white and gold card and cut out the elements as seen below. I then "decoupaged" them onto the green bottle.

I also stamped the glasses using Nocturne Versafine Clair ink and coloured them using antique linen distress ink applied with a paintbrush. I stamped a few bubbles inside the glasses. I stamped the Congratulations and Happy anniversary sentiments at the top and bottom of the card and clear heat embossed them. I then adhered the bottle and glasses in place and added some gold pen detailing.

For some extra dimension and shine I added Glossy accents to the glasses and some dots of it inside the heart. When dry I matted onto gold then black card and finally onto a white card blank cut from an A4 sheet of card.

For a finishing touch I added some of my signature sequins.
