50th Wedding Anniversary Card using Meant to BE

One of my classmates is celebrating her 50th Wedding Anniversary, and I was asked to make a card for this occasion by another classmate.
I think 50th anniversay cards should be elaborate, special and of course made in tones of gold and vanilla.
This is the card I came up with.


Both she and her husband are very musical, so I incorporated some music in the design of the card, placing music sheets behind the die cut hearts.  The music sheets were made using the Sheet Music  background stamp on Very Vanilla paper .

The base card is Thick Very Vanilla (5 by 7"), layered first with Gold Foil, then with Very Vanilla, the edges of which were die cut using the Be Mine Stitched edge die.  I used the largest Stitched Rectangle to die cut the middle of the gold foil layer.  This was used on another project.   This piece was then embossed with the Lace Embossing folder.


The gold foil central oval was die cut with the Heritage Oval die and embossed with the complimentary Heritage embossing folder.  This was adhered to the card front using dimensionals.



Two overlapping gold foil die cut scallop hearts with music sheets behind them were added to this oval near the top, with the numbers "50" inserted in the middle.  Flowers were added along the bottom.  Tiny butterflies are added in several locations.


Gold glitter was added to the center of the flowers.

A very vanilla trim, striped with gold, was added just below the oval edge, and a ribbon was added on top of it on the right side

Here's the inside finished with gold embossing , gold foil die cuts as well as music notes.

Stamp: Sheet Music Background stamp, Meant to be
