50th ANNIVERSARY

My mother-in-law needed two 50th Anniversary cards.  I thought of the Hallmark cards I see and for this type of celebration they are usually very elegant and often have gold lettering and some embossing on the card.

I heat embossed the sentiment onto PTI Vintage Cream card stock with Egyptian Gold embossing powder.  I then cut that piece with the Spellbinders Classic Rectangle set and mounted it onto a piece made with the Scalloped rectangle......both were cut and then embossed.

The front of the card was embossed with a Craft Concepts embossing folder "Budding Vine" which I purchased from CropStop.com.  The sentiment piece was then mounted with foam squares.

Thank you for stopping by!  Your comments are always welcome..........I love hearing from you!

Very elegant and beautiful, Vicki! I bet your mother was thrilled with it, and the recipient will be, too, I'm sure.

It is truly elegant and you should be very proud of it. I know you MIL will be very proud to give it to her friends
