The embellishments for this 8 1'2" x 11" card pictured below are as follows:  Pearl tipped stick pins: with beads glued into place with Glossy Accents and added to double Bowed ribbon.  The string on Mini Pearls were attached to the outlined (inked) cut out from design card stockusing Glossy Accents ( I found the glossy accent product was faster drying than other adhesives).  I glued a 2" to 3"section in place at a time.  This helped with tight corners or small curved lines.).  Spellbinders (larger die) "Resplendent Rectangles" and (smaller die) "Decorative labels 8" edges were inked  using CTMH Twilight and a sponge applicator.   The Stamp greeting is from CTMH "D1452 Find Your Style".

Card size 5 1/2 X 5 1/2" using White Card stock.  The embossed 3 panels were cut at 1 1/2" wide x 5"long.  The outside 2 panels were glued in place before the centre panel to allow balanced spacing.   The 3 daisies were punched with a Marvy (larger) and a recollections (smaller) daisy punch.  The larger daisy has 2 rows of petals (one formed with pedals facing down and   the 2nd layer petals curved in different directions with the use of a scoring bone. The centre small daisy was cupped by pushing into the centre of the daisy with a large stylus,  then embellished with a rhinestone.   Each daisy was glued in place at the end of each (ribbon cut) shaped panel.  The anniversary stamp was found at a local dollar store.  It was stamped on white car stock,  then cut out with fine pointed scissors and  placed in position with pop dots.
