MMSC#10 50th Anniversary with Emily

Here is this weeks sketch for the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge #10. Priscilla's sketches are just amazing. There are prizes galore, cash, and a chance to be picked as a guest designer. I have my fingers crossed that it might be me!!! Just look at one of the prizes in my side bar....WOW So what are you waiting for? Come and join us, you can't win if you don't play. Here is my submission for this weeks challenge.
This is Emily the Bride from the Boyds Bear Collection. My card was made for a 50th Anniversary that my Sister-In-Law's parents are celebrating. You can find some thank-you notes I made for them here from earlier this week. Stayed tuned because I will be making them some other goodies to go with this.
You can't believe how hard it is to photograph "white" cards. You just can't get all the detail. So I took lots of pictures so hopefully you can get an idea how detailed the card is. Also, is it me or is it very hard to find embellishments for 50th anniversary cards?

The 50 was cut with my cricut from a cereal box (yea I know....what can I say, I've been laid off...I am trying to economize...lol) I painted the 50 with rangers gold ink, then painted with glue and used Martha Stewart's gold glitter on it. The flowers were all punched with punches and then put together with gold brads. The squares were done with the Martha Stewart Border punch. Everything was measure very carefully to get it even and in the middle. I also accented the squares with gold card stock. Thanks for stopping in today to check out the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge. Remember to play along for fabulous prizes. See you soon!!!

This is the last of my entries into the VSN challenge at SCS. We were to do a wedding cake card inspired by this cake. The challenge was called "Tying the Knot" and we were to have a knot tied somewhere on the card as well.

Paper:
Citrus Stack
Accessories: Spell binders label, Cuttlebug embossing folder flowers and swiss dot, MS lace border punch, wedding cake charm, ribbon, rhinestones

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your evening!

NOTE: I am very happy and excited to announce that this card was chosen by the host of this Challenge as a "High Roller" in the entries for VSN. I am honored by this selection as there are so many talented ladies there that I admire and aspire to be as good as!!!
