Happy Anniversary to Carole & Nigel

This is the second of two cards made in this style, one landscape and one portrait. As the first one it's a mixture of old and new products.

 Blending brushes were used on the shimmery white using rococo rose and seaside spray before die cutting.

Card Stock: *rococo rose, seaside spray, shimmery white

Dies: *curvy, messages, potted succulents, stitched be mine (1,2 w)

Embossing Powder: heat & stick, white

Ink: rococo rose, versamark
