Here is Word Art Wednesday Anything Goes Challenge - Weeks# 770-771, below is the challenged word art:


And here is the card I created to attend this challenge:


I created this five by seven shadow box wedding card for my friend's son's wedding. I die cut the bride and groom blue gray cardstock (his wedding theme color) and attached on the card front. I decorated the flower centers and bride's earring with glitter drops. The top greeting and bottom date is from Penny Black's Personalized Birthday stamp set. Once you open the cover, you will see the shadow box below:


 I created this shadow box with gray blue and matte silver metallic cardstock. On the top of the shadow box, I die cut the silver frame (from Altenew's Sparkled Frame die) and decorated with glitter sequins. The two butterflies were stamped and die cut from Altenew's Meadow Reflections stamp & die set. I white embossed the greeting (from Penny Black's Personalized Birthday stamp set) under the frame. For the inside of the shadow box, I die cut flowers and leaves from Altenew's Anemone Blue Poppy die set. Below is another look of the shadow box:
