Hello everyone! A couple that I know well is celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary and I wanted to make them something that was fun and casual because that's the kind of people they are. This is guaranteed to be different from any other card they receive. It features a fun-loving couple from the 5186-Enjoy the Ride Set. I created an extra large and exaggerated picket fence background for this card. On top of that is an elongated number 50 that I cut with my Cricut machine. Don't you think the fence and gold number look great as the backdrop to the biking couple? It really reminds me of a scene that might be in an animated movie.
This is a 5 x 7 card. It has an acetate panel in it which provides a clear background for the picket fence. The fence was made free hand and then embossed with a woodgrain embossing folder before being glued in in place. Next was a quick design of the extra large number 50 which I cut out on the Cricut. I glued this on top of the fence. I cut out a grass border with my Cricut and layered that on top of the fifty. The next step was to stamp, color, and cut out the couple on the bike. I mounted it with foam tape at the base of the card on top of the grass layer. I also colored and cut out the balloons and mounted them with foam tape behind the bike.
I stamped the sentiments next and used punches to cut them out. I applied them on the card and added two small gold glitter enamel dots to each one. The last steps were to make a double bow in gold ribbon and attach it to the card. I also added a cream and gold purchased flower to the front.
I can't wait to give this card to my friends for their special anniversary. I think they are going to love it! I hope you do too.
Thanks so much for joining me here at the blog today. Please visit the Ai store for the sets I used and all the things you need for your card, journal, and tag making projects. Happy creating!
