And here is the card I created:
Several of my teammates also used this swan image and I was going to try to just use the color combo with a different image. But I just couldn't!! The swans were just too fabulous and I had to go with them AND the color combo. I went mostly grays with accents of the peachy/orange and little pops of black! I started by stamping feathers in a pale gray on the gray card base. For the vertical rectangle panel, I used the same light gray ink to ink my embossing folder before using it to deboss the panel. It adds a really soft, subtle textured pattern. The banner was a little too bright for what I wanted, so I used some white ink and brushed it around the edges to soften the color. I also brushed white ink onto the die cut flowers (which have been in my bits and pieces stash for around a year). A little grossgrain ribbon and some peach lace finish everything off perfectly! With the sentiment and image paired with the soft color combo, this makes an sweet, elegant anniversary card.

Oh how pretty - loved how a lot of Rock Stars used the swans and each one is so very different. Hard to pick which one would be my favorite. Pretty soft colors. Great job.
