Birds and branches Coral anniversary card

Hello everyone

Thanks for joining me on this scorching hot day here in Alberta - the weather is glorious but a little too warm for me lol! I am staying in my craft room with the fan blowing cool air and just playing with paper and ink :) 

This past weekend was my Wedding anniversary and so I made todays card a little early - I wanted to use a new set of stamps and dies that had not yet seen ink. I also wanted some kind of coral accent on it - coral is the old fashioned item associated with 35 years of marriage and I think the modern one is Jade. I was going to use the DSP from the Whale done set as that has coral images and patterns on but chose my Calypso Coral ink and card as an accent instead. 

This is my card and my husband loved it - especially the Gilded Autumn designer series paper with the coppery accents on it from the new August - December Catalogue.

If you would like an August - December catalogue (Used to be called the Holiday catalogue), and don't have a demonstrator in Canada, drop me a line and we can make a plan to get you one.
