Anniversary...

A colleague of my mum's asked me to make an anniversary card for his wife's uncle and aunt. I don't know why but I really wanted to do a gold and off white card. I think I will be making more cards using this combination because it looks so elegant. Plus the gold sequins never look too much on the off white, that is one more reason to use it over and over again :o)

I used a sketch from I{heart}2stamp but I didn't actually submit the card in the challenge. I just liked the sketch and thought that it would be very good for an anniversary card. Whenever I go sketch hunting it secretly means I have no clue how to go about a card! :-p

I have outlined all the layers with a gold marker.

I doodled some swirls with a gold metallic pen on the top most off white layer (the smallest rectangle with a ribbon wrapped around). I made those little spring thingy and glued them under this layer to pop it up. After sticking the gold sequins I used dots of gold embossing paste to fill the gaps.

I popped up the the brown layer with the sentiment using the same spring thingies.

I wrapped around some gold string on the three off white layers. The middle one has some gold beads as well. I didn't add them in all three because it was taking a long time and I had to complete the card as quickly as I could. So instead of beads I added sequins to jazz it up some more.

Okay so I have officially used FIVE layers and one base layer making it SIX LAYERS! The gold layer is a wrapping paper and it is just GORGEOUS! I made the envelope using this paper!
