Simon Monday Challenge - Wedding/Anniversary

Here is Simon Monday Challenge - Wedding/Anniversary, below is the challenge photo:

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

I used Altenew's Leafy Splendor 3D embossing folder to dry emboss on the white cardstock. Then I used the matching stencils to blend in very light gray and gold rim on the leaves and stems. I used the same gold ink (from Lisa Horton Crafts' solid gold ink) to blend the edges of the card, so the card has the same gold color of mat as the leaves and stems. I gold embossed "happy anniversary" (from Mama Elephant's Bountiful Blessings stamp set) on top of the background. Finish the card by attaching some gold glitter gems on the card. Below is another look of the card:

Supplies:

Cardstock: Neenah

Ink Pads: Lisa Horton Crafts, Versamark

Stamps: Mama Elephant

3D Embossing Folder: Altenew

Stencils: Altenew

Others: gold embossing powder, gold glitter gems

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

I used Pinkfresh Studio's Dotted Fancy Frames die set to create the dotted frame on white cardstock.
