Black and white elegant anniversary card

This is the last of three personalized cards requested by a friend. I did one for a wedding, one for a birthday, and this one is for her anniversary. She and her husband have been married 28 years. Isn't that just wonderful?!

This is a smaller card – 4 x 6 (10 x 15cm)  – so I had to scrunch the type just a bit to get it to fit. My friend wanted something simple, yet elegant. Since it's for her husband it wouldn't do to go too floral. We decided on a black and white color scheme with pearl accents.

There's more Verve love going on here (Because of You). I'm new to Verve stamps. I received my first order a couple of months ago and was so impressed I just ordered more. They're such multi-purpose stamps, especially the stamps with matching dies. And did I mention their flat international rate shipping fee? As an expat abroad, I REALLY appreciate that.

My muse was this delightful card by Susan Liles.
