Anniversary Wishes

Happy Friday!!  It's time for another challenge from Jo's Scrap Shack.  As always, we are now an Anything Goes challenge and our sponsor for this week is Little Blue Button Stamps. 

Here is the card I created for your inspiration:

My husband's aunt and uncle are celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary this weekend.  I wanted something soft and elegant and not too girly.  I think the blue and gray are just enough contrast to the pink to keep it from being too feminine.  So many great details here: mulberry paper, stitched dies, pearls and a bit of ribbon that was in my bits and pieces stash.

What do you need to do to enter?

Moving Along With the Times #96--florals

As You Like It--Flowers or Ribbon and Why? (I love using flower images on my cards, but for embellishments I prefer ribbon.  It can be used on cards for pretty much any occasion, comes in unlimited colors and can add embellishing without adding bulk.  Plus, it's much cheaper than purchased flowers and much easier than making your own!)
