CR84FN68 - How Do I Love Thee?

Welcome to the last color challenge before we go on holiday break at CR84FN.  For the next two weeks we will be playing with these GORGEOUS and fun to create with colors of burgundy, gray, and cream!
I used this color palette to make an anniversary card for my DH!  I never imagined 24 years with the same person could be so wonderful!
Here's his card:

I pulled out some old Technique Tuesday stamps and this is what I came up with,  I stamped the "How Do I Love Thee" sentiment on a digi image I won at Papercraft Pals.

I rolled a rose and clear embossed the edges to make it more manly rugged!  LOL!

The heart border, the stitched panels and the tiny pearls tied this card together for me!
Hope you like it!  My DH certainly did!

Go check out what our CR84FNDT (listed in my sidebar) has made for your inspiration and then come play before we go away for 2012!

On a personal note, here we are at the Melting Pot for our 24th Anniversary ~ kinda our special place to go!  We had a great time!
