Shimmery Blue Anniversary

Hello again!  In the midst of all the craziness, I made a anniversary card for my wonderful in-laws.  They are such a blessing to us all and such an encouragement too.  What a great example of God's love to all that come in contact with them.  They have recently taken on the wonderful challenge of being foster parents.  As if that is not is not amazing on its own, they went from being empty nesters to foster parents to 4 children all under the age of 7 years old.  The youngest was less than 3 months old.  They are truly an amazing couple.  It has not been easy at all, and we have all come to love these children as if they have always been a part of our family.  Our own children love these kids a lot.   When they do get to go back home to their parents, it is going to very hard to let them go.  Anyways, they got to get away for a few hours to celebrate their anniversary!  This is the card I made for them.  It is simple but when you don't have a "scoreboard" it took a little bit if figuring out to get those crisscross lines.  Plus the shimmery paper is a heavy cardstock and it did not want to score at all.  Either way, I think it turned out very nice.  I love the gray and blue contrast!

I Used:
Blue Pearl Cardstock
DCWV The Shimmer Stack for the BG paper
Martha Stewart Scalloped Corner Punch
Gray Statin Ribbon from my stash
Stamped Sentiment from Hobby Lobby
Silver Liquid Pearls
Thanks for taking a look at what I have been doing!
I hope you have a wonderful day!
