Welcome
I suddenly realised I needed an anniversary card for a family member today - and that was in the early afternoon. As it was this card came together in about 20 minutes.

My first thought was to use an image from Clearly Vintage, and I printed it off after sizing it to fit the card. I distressed the edges and sponged with Faded Denim D.I.

I stamped and embossed the sentiment, and also distressed and sponged it after cutting it to a banner shape. I then added a strip of pearls to the end of the banner,

to the top corner,

and randomly over the flowers - I think I am starting to 'get' the random thing, as this went quickly and was not too painful for this right-brained crafter!!

Love how lacy these flowers look. I really struggle with "Random" Your random placement of the pearls looks great.
Excellent card Maxine, especially since it was a quick one. Beautifully crafted and a stunner too.
