Welcome to this month’s Stampin’ Creative Blog hop and a warm welcome if you’ve hopped over from the lovely Louise’s blog were you’ll have already been spoilt to some fantastic inspiration already.
This month’s hop revolves around a Layout challenge and a layout that excited me the moment I saw it.
My regular followers will already know that this year I’ve a wealth of milestone occasions to celebrate with friends and family and so I chose to use one of the 25th Wedding Anniversary cards as the theme for this layout.
Quite a simple little card really, with nominal stamping. I layered some vellum over the whisper white layer, to help soften the look.
Wanting to give a little gift to this couple, I made a coordinating gift tag from vellum, that I filled with hearts and the word ‘enjoy’.
Hopefully you can just see here, how I added a Wink of Stella to the scattered hearts on the card, to add a subtle shimmer.
This layout was right up my street, with the scattering of embellishments. I loved working to this and I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing my creation.
Pip will I’m sure delight you further with her offering. She herself has a 25th Wedding Anniversary to celebrate this year … but don’t worry, this card wasn’t for her, so I’ve not spoilt any surprise.
Enjoy the rest of the hop and the rest of the Easter weekend.

Oh my I love this …. lovely card and what a fab idea with the shaker Vellum tag. Just stunning!
Gorgeous as always Mikaela, I love the use of the Vellum, and parts of my Favourite Stamp Set too, I would have been over the moon to receive such a beautiful creation to celebrate my 25th Wedding anni, here's looking forward to my 30th next year, wink wink!!!
This is gorgeous, Mikaela! I especially like the little heart on the twine, so adorable! Layering the vellum over whisper white isn't something I've done, but it really makes a difference. And the wink of Stella does show up! It adds such a lovely, subtle sheen. Gorgeous! Caro x
Simply Beautiful ! xx
These are gorgeous Mikaela, love the layer of vellum over the top and also love how you have attached the little hearts to the end of your twine – icing on the cake!
