JGNC12 Anniversary Card

Here is an anniversary card that I made for my parents using the traditional resist technique with glossy paper.   This was one of the techniques I learned from Inspiration Showcase.  I couldn't decide which color I wanted to use, so I embossed two of the same pattern and inked one in green (shabby shutters distress ink) and the other in blue (tumbled glass distress ink).  I ended up using the green one on this card so now I have an extra to play with!  :)  

I wanted to keep this card CAS, so here is what I ended up with. 

Sentiment is stamped and clear embossed on vellum.  Cardstock is from PTI (Spring Moss) which ended up being a perfect match for my resist image.  (Unfortunately, this photo does not do justice to actual card!)

I thought this card would work perfectly for the current challenge on Jay Gee's Nook.

    Gorgeous card! I love the decorative edge. That technique is one of my new favorites. I had never done the resist on glossy paper. It turns out so elegant and pretty. :)
