Card of the Day - Always in My Heart Anniversary

Hello and welcome back! I've got several friends that will be celebrating their 40th wedding anniversaries this year and the first is coming up on Valentine's Day. The 40th is the ruby anniversary, so I knew I would have to create something with red and the holiday practically requires it! Here's today's card:

I used the new Always in My Heart stamp set with the coordinating Floral Heart Dies. I was going to use Red Foil Paper but I thought it was a little too bright, so I pulled the red glimmer paper from my stash. I added a piece of an Adhesive Sheet to the back of the glimmer paper before die cutting. It's so much easier to add the die cut to the card front that way! The numbers are from a retired set - Memorable Moments.

I'm always on the lookout for more anniversary-friendly stamp sets, so I was excited to see this one in the current mini catalog. 

This design was inspired by the challenge at As You See It and this week's Tic Tac Toe Challenge. I've used the left hand column - red, free, sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!
