Black & White Anniversary

I wanted to make an anniversary card and went looking for inspiration.  I was able to combine several challenges for this card...


Closeup of the stamp
Challenges...
Mojo Monday 265 - sketch
Stampin Sisters in Christ #163 - time: clocks, etc. or black/white -- I obviously did the black/white but I think it's cool that it is an anniversary card... celebrating the time of a marriage! :)
Playing in Paradise #91 - Happy Anniversary
The Stamp Man November Challenge - emboss it
Simon Says Stamp Challenge - Get in shape -not square
Shopping Our Stash #75 - 3D or handmade flower -- this flower is actually an up-cycled silk flower
Card Crafter's Circle #47 - patterned paper
Twisted Tuesday 2TC30 - anything goes

My "recipe":
~card cut with MTC
~music DP I've had FOREVER
~Fiskars stamp
~Allegro embossing folder
~flower, ribbon, and brad from stash

Thanks for stopping by!!!
