I have a very special post today.... I was honored and delighted to be asked by Lesley Croghan to be a guestie on her blog (Always Playing with Paper) on a new feature she's started called "Inspired By". It's a chance for me to tell you a little about myself and I'm hoping you might play along with the challenge at the same time. How to introduce Lesley? That seems like a silly question... like who doesn't know Lesley? Ok.. let's pretend like you dont - although I'm not sure you can be a card maker and not regonize her name. Lesley is the creator of so many of your favorite places to play... maybe you didn't realize that.... Places like..Freshly Made Sketches, The Paper Players, FUSION, The Card Concept, Merry Monday, Dynamic Duos Challenge, Seize the Birthday, Seize the Sketch, e SRM Challenge AND on top of that she's a very talented designer !!! So yes... swoon... very honored to be asked by her to participate on this new feature!!! 
Of course I started thinking wedding. A cake like that doesn't come around just any day. I don't have any weddings coming up so I thought an Anniversary card would be just as nice. I was going to start off with an embossed background but decided to work use a panel die cut instead. It looks like Battenburg Lace doesn't it?
All the products on my card are from WPlus9. That gold frame is called the Anastasia Tag Die. If you look close you'll see I have a shiny gold foil outer frame with a glitter frame on the inside. 
I think WPlus9 makes the prettiest floral stamps. These were fun and easy to stamp - I did a whole bunch of different colors while I had the set out! Might as well do them while I have them figured out - these are triple stamped!!
Stamps: WPlus9 Pretty Peonies, Very Vintage Greetings
Dies: WPlus9 Lattice Frame Die, Anastasia Tag Die
Fibers May Arts Ivory Button Tine, 5/8" Ivory Silky
Sequins Pretty Pink Posh
