Anniversary card

I discovered a different way of dry embossing today and so decided to try it for this anniversary card for a friend's daughter.
I cut the square and the large heart with Nesties and whilst still in the die I placed them on a Spellbinders Impressabilities stencil and embossed them using my tan mat. In this way you get the pattern in the centre of the shape and the embossed edge as well. I think it's really clever!
I believe that the 10th anniversary is normally regarded as the Tin Wedding so I used this dull silver as a backdrop. The sentiments were computer generated and cut with smaller hearts.
A couple of punched flowers and a butterfly, a few gems and a sprinkling of Glamour Dust and it was done.
