PPA80 & CQC71

I created this anniversary card following the color challenge from CQC #71 for a darling friend of mine.  She is an extremely creative gal and loves anything elegant, vintage, pearly (it that a word?)...anyway, I think you get the idea ~ she is one classy girl! This is my first attempt at 'elegant' and I'm very pleased with the outcome! 
This is the color challenge ~

Perfect for a vintage card...just her style...and then this morning I noticed this challenge from PPA #80, this was just too perfect to pass up, so the challenge from PPA was called Vintage is in vogue! 
Sure hope you like it my sweet friend :-)


I just love the interesting fold that I did for this card! It came together so nicely! Antique brad, fancy fold, pearls, corner scrolls, soft colors....VINTAGE!!!! Yipee, this is a first for me! Here are a few other pix of the card for you...




Thank you so much for stopping by today ~ I hope you have a wonderful day! My DH and I are off to Brandon this afternoon, our son Marc Ross has a gig at the Lady of The Lake, can't wait to see him. We haven't seen him since Christmas, this is one special day for me!

    Denise, what a lovely card. I checked out your blog early this morning but had not yet left a comment. I subscribed through my Windows Live blog feed.

    I just saw your comment on my card. Wow, was I surprised with the nomination. That is a first for me. I was going to send you an email but didn't see an email address. So I will just give you a real big thank you right here. I noticed we are using the same blogger template. I did have the same color as yours but changed it just a few days ago. Thanks again!

    Oh my goodness!! This was worth being banned from your blog for a week my friend. This card is absolutely gorgeous and I love it!! What's even better is that I am now the privileged owner of it. It is even more beautiful IRL. Soft and elegant and yes vintage - love the pearls too. The vellum butterflies are stunning. I could go on and on -- I love everything about it. This such a pretty fold too and you know I love different folds - thank you for introducing me to a new one.

Hello friends and I want to wish you a Blessed Happy New Year!!!  A year filled with love, hope and peace!!! And I want to welcome you here, to the first Technique Tuesday of the year.  The call for this Technique is using the Brayer!  Oh boy, I haven't used my Brayer in years...so here we go!! Did you see this new Embossing Folder?  It's from the new Adoring Hearts Bundle and wow!!! what a Bundle this is, we have the Stamp Set, Embossing Hybrid Folder, and the Dies, that work with the Embossing Folder.  So whenever you have an Embossing Folder, that is Hybrid, well, that means you Die Cut and Emboss at the same time...Easy Peasy and AMAZING!!! So what I did was, with my Blackberry Bliss Stamp Pad, I inked Brayered the inside of the Embossing Folder, then carefully laid the Die into the Embossing Folder, placed a 6" x 6" piece of Basic White CS, into the folder!  Ran that through my Cut & Emboss Machine and voilà Stampin Dimensionals behind these sweet ...
