Romantic Setting

I do hope everyone is safe and sound this weekend....hopefully no freaky storms.  We are experiencing a lot of cloud, and it's a bit undecided as to whether it wants to rain or not, so I'm taking it as a non-gardening day!  Taking a wee rest...just looking for any excuse.


For today's card, I had some fun with this adorable Crystal Chandelier image from Just Inklined.  I thought it well suited for an anniversary card, with lots of added sparkle and glitter.   Brings to mind a nice romantic dinner with soft lighting and a glass of wine....

I actually followed a sketch for this one, something I rarely do.  Those pretty flowers are made with a new die that I just purchased, and some handmade paper that I've had for ages.

The sentiment is stamped and then cut around, before adhering it to a black cardstock which is then trimmed to provide a shadow backing.  Lots of fussy cutting but I like the effect.

Other supplies used:
Basic Grey papers from the Euphoria Collection
Martha Stewart - Doily Lace punch
Spellbinders - Labels Twenty Two die
Elizabeth Craft Designs - Bunch of Flowers 2 die

I hope you liked my card and enjoyed your visit, and here's wishing you a wonderful day!

    Love your interpretation of the sketch and the chandelier image, a beautiful card Joyce. I had a break from gardening Thursday with a rainy day, but spent most of yesterday finishing off my pots and clearing out some of the rubbish, we even had a BBQ last night but ended up eating indoors as the temperature dropped so quickly, but I am just loving having the sun.
    Hope you are having a good weekend.
    hugs {brenda} x0x
