"Treasured Memories"

Yes, in my typical style, I decided "not" to create a Christmas project. Of course these collections are so versatile, they can be used a lot of different ways. This is an anniversary card for our son and his wife who will be celebrating their second anniversary soon. 

Tips and Techniques:

The October Ribbon Club Shimmer Turquoise ribbon was a little bright for these Donna Salazar Spring in Bloom papers, so I misted it with Cork Glimmer Mist. Here's a tip for transforming your ribbons with mist. Trim off a small piece of the ribbon and spritz it with mist, then allow to dry to see if you've achieved the desired color. I created this triple loop bow using Ginny's Double Loop Bow Tutorial found here. Bonnie is now selling the Zutter Bow-it-All which makes very fast work of gorgeous bows. 

I just adore the sweet Wild Orchid Crafts Mulberry Flowers in the RRR Store. Here I've used a 25mm Cottage Rose in Mixed Purple/Lilac. I added a berry sprig and raffia from my stash. The sweet Catherine White Crochet Lace is part of the October Ribbon Club Assortment.

I also the Double Faced Light Silver Ribbon and White Lace from the October Ribbon Club Assortment as a border here on the inside of my card. I just adore how the silver ribbon plays off the other colors in the papers! 

I printed the Happy Anniversary sentiment using Chopin Script Font from the internet. I then stamped the heart flourish around the printed sentiment. (I did size the sentiment to fit the stamp.) 

A quick and easy sentiment using these K & Company metallic stickers that goes perfectly with the anniversary theme.

I was inspired by the beautiful work of Andrea Ewen.
