Welcome
This card came together quite quickly - after it convinced me that it wanted to look like this, which is not how I had initially planned it!

It is basically a Z-fold card with a die half cut in the centre, and then the fancy cut layered over it. I used the s/b die set Swirled Heart

I used the fancy die as a stencil and sponged Versamark ink over it, then embossed it with silver. The extra texture was was a "creative opportunity".

The sentiment is an old one that I have used repeatedly, and here I silver embossed it

The paper is from an old pad, Romantique by Prima - it was one of my first purchases of a pad of design paper.

This is the card opened out.
The detailing comprised the rhinestones - which represent the years of the marriage, and a glitter purple pen run around the edge of the dp - it gives a subtle sheen to the edges. I must admit that this was another case of a "creative opportunity"
