Golden Anniversary card and bag

Hi all
Here is a card and gift bag set I have been asked to make for a couple who are celebrating their Golden wedding anniversary. Clean and simple in gold and white was the brief ...I am not great at clean and simple as I tend to over embellish .
I used a darice 8x8 embossing folder for the background. The  heart die is from sizzix . The ribbons and pearls are from Meiflower crafts. I embossed the SU sentiment with gold metallic wow powder.
The pins are handmade and HERE is my very basic tutorial on how to make them for yourselves
The  blank white gift bag is from papermania .

I coloured the image with promarkers and added highlights with Spectrum Noir blendable pencils

 
The edge punch I used is from Martha Stewart .The pretty butterflies were made by using a sizzlit die from Stamping Up It is my fave die as it cuts all the bitterfly layers at once and embosses and cuts with only one pass through the big shot .the papers I have had in my stash for so long I have forgotten where I bought them from!!


The handmade flowers were made using a punch and stamp set from Tonic Studio and some centura pearl card from crafters companion
The gorgeous bow was made using my fabulous Craft-dee Bowz bow maker .It is so easy to use and I reach for it every single  time I need to make a bow for my projects.

 
 
I hope my project has inspired you...thanks for stopping by
happy crafting
