Happy Anniversary Card

I love making "romantic" cards. I have 3 boys so I don't get to play with flowers and such very often but this paper from Webster's Pages was too gorgeous to hide away in my stash.

 I started by cutting a damask and its shadow from Damask Decor.  They were cut real size off at 4.76 inches.  I inked the edges of all the cuts.

Next I assembled the cuts.

 Then I cut the doves layer from the same cut at 4.76 inches real size off. By leaving the real size off my layers will fit, regardless if they were cut at different times.  I gave each of the wings a bit of a lift to add dimension.

Next i cut this banner from Heritage Cricut cartridge.  It was cut at inches.  I then stamped this sentiment from Pink By Design "Here Comes The Bride".  To make the sentiment fit the banner, I placed it on my block with a slight curve. I then folded the edges back under each other to make the banner look 3D. I added a rhinestone to the cut.

Finally I tied my ribbon and mounted my cuts to my card base. This card is larger at 6 by 6.  But I think it has an elegance that anyone would love to receive.

Here are some more shots so you can see how all the details made this card so beautiful.

Have a creative day!
