Happy Anniversary Jack & Nancy

Hello and Good Morning,
I have another card to share this morning.
I made this Anniversary card for some friends of mine who are celebrating their 29th wedding anniversary, I believe Sunday.  So Happy Anniversary Jack & Nancy!!!

When making this card I told myself, NO FLOWERS!!!  and the focal point of this card is the HUGE flower on the front, for some reason it just called out for a flower.  I just need to understand that I will never stop using flowers on my cards, but I will keep trying to NOT add a flower.....we all have our signature embellishments, some use flowers, ribbon, pearls, and of coures I use all those too. :) I have been trying to do other things to my cards.  I do like sewing on my cards I will have to do that more often too.  I will keep looking for better ideas so not to bore you all. I would also like to add more layers, so I am hoping to be a little more creative soon.

Inside

I used on this card:

Paper:  Gina K. heavy base cardstock, the DSP is K & Company inside and out.
The DSP corners were cut with a corner punch I bought at Michaels years ago not sure where it is from
"This photo was taken before I finished the card, but I added pearls to the corners of the card"
The flowers are made with the same papers using scalloped circle punches.
The large oval is a nestability from spellbinders.
The "best wishes" is from Stampin Up and the inside greeting is a stamp I bought from Hobby Lobby.
Ribbon is from: Walmart
Brad for the ribbon is an antique brad from Stampin Up, love these brads
The Heart border for the ribbon is a Martha Stewart punch
The inside brad was made with my i-top, love this gadget

Thanks for looking, please feel free to leave a comment I enjoy hearing from you!
Have a great day and I will be back tomorrow.
