Coral and Gold Wedding / Anniversary Card with Woodgrain and Roses

This week's ColourQ has had me thinking and planning ever since Tuesday, but

I was out of town and couldn't do anything about those ideas until now.

And wouldn't you know--

I still haven't gotten any of those ideas out in paper because

new ones took over.  I got a little carried away, but I think it's OK.

Jay (my card-making buddy) was crafting with me again today
while Robin read us a couple of books.
Thus the sentiment du jour made its way to center-stage.
 

 

I just love this sentiment.  It will be perfect as a special anniversary or wedding card.

I added a little bit of embossing inside the white roses to carry the
gold woodgrain background and gold edge-embossing of the tag
over into the embellishments for continuity.

 

We'll see if I can get around to those original ideas before the ColourQ challenge

deadline hits.  I'll have to monitor how this carpal tunnel thing is going after the weekend.

Coloring has been *really* tough of late,

so I'm trying to avoid having to grasp a small tool like a pencil for extended periods.

We'll just see how it goes, day by day until baby H arrives! :)

You can't see it because of the shadows, but the black mat paper
is actually a metallic script over black.

 

I wish the metallic gold woodgrain texture would show in these photos but... alas.

You will have to use imagination.
