Happy Anniversary Card

Hubby and I got together in 1990...so this marks 30 years!  WOW. 

I had these strips of the Noble Peacock Specialty Designer Foil papers, so that's how the card started out.  Finished card size is 4 3/4" x 6 1/2"...kind of a weird size - good thing I have an Envelope Punch Board to make any size envelope that I need!  Colors are Pretty Peacock, Old Olive, and Blueberry Bushel.  The foil prints are really cool!

I did a lot of embossing for his card, because these foil papers are so shiny.  I wanted to match the shiny-shiny.  You may notice that I used the large Ampersand embossing folder on the foil layer - it barely shows...so I doubled up and embossed the symbol with a set from Unity Stamp Co, hand-cut it and popped it up.

I needed a "You" and a "Me"...and I found some in an old stamp set, Merry Everything.  I embossed and then just literally cut out what I needed.

Some retired Old Olive 1/8" Taffeta and Gold cord wrapped around the whole front layer, which was also popped up with Stampin Dimensionals.

Happy Anniversary to my Hubby!
