CCMC136 Anniversary

Another new challenge for me... The Create with Connie and Mary Inspiration Challenge!  When I first saw this picture I knew I wanted to use the flower colors.  I had a 50th Anniversary card on my to-do list, and after seeing the gold in the inspiration and thinking of the wedding theme, this is what I created.
 
The base of the card is Early Espresso topped with Whisper White embossed with swirls.  The flowers were stamped from the set 'Botanical Blooms' with Pumpkin Pie, Ruby Red, and Daffodil Delight ink.  I added more color to the card by adding a wrinkled piece of Old Olive over some Ruby Red.  To incorporate the gold for the '50th Wedding Anniversary' I punched three small gold eyelets at the bottom and put a piece of Ruby Red paper behind them so the color showed through.  
Thanks for looking!
