A Ruby Anniversary
Firstly let me start by saying a HUGE thank you to everyone who participated in the JustRite Stampers Blog Hop - there was such a big response it was totally amazing!!! Thank you to everyone who commented here and welcome to my new followers and subscribers!! :) If you didn't win anything, don't forget that you can still buy your 1 5/8 products from JustRite for 20% off - but only until the end of March!
Now - on to today's card!!! March 28th marked my parent's 40th Anniversary and since it is traditionally the Ruby Anniversary I decided to make them a card with red! I was inspired by this My Mind's Eye Lush paper which is red flocked. Since it had a creamy base I matched it with Very Vanilla and used black to make it pop.
I started with a Very Vanilla base and layered with black and the Lush DSP. Next I cut another piece of Vanilla, embossed it with Swiss Dots and matted it with some red bazzill. Next I took another piece of black and cut and embossed it with the Spades Pendant die and attached some 1" red satin ribbon through the sides and glued it down. I then took the centre sentiment from Loving Thoughts (which is currently 20% OFF!) and the border from 2" Square Decorative Frames and stamped them in Memento Tuxedo Black. I cut it out with Lg Square Nestabilities and matted it with a piece of red bazzill and popped it up on foam tape. To finish I added a large red satin bow made with my Bow Easy and embellished with a few Kaisercraft Blush Pearls.
