golden congratulations

Hello!  If you’re looking for my OWH Memorial Day blog hop post, please click here –> missing u

Today is Memorial Day – a day to remember those who have sacrificed their lives while serving our country.  It’s also my husband’s parents’ 50th wedding anniversary.  So instead of going patriotic, I’m sharing the card I made for our family to give to my inlaws.  It’s a simple layout that I will admit to using before.  This time I used Stampin’ Up’s Shimmery White cardstock for the dry embossed layer.  It wasn’t easy to catch the shimmer in it when I took the photo, but it looks really nice in real life (if I say so myself), especially next to the glistening gold cardstock.

Supplies:
Stamps: Warmest Regards (Stampin’ Up)
Cardstock: Shimmery White, Brushed Gold (SU); Vintage Cream (Papertrey Ink)
Ink: Gold (ColorBox)
Other: gold detail embossing powder (SU); flower (Prima); Victoria embossing folder (ProvoCraft); petite oval and petite scalloped oval Nestabilities dies (Spellbinders)
