The 8th anniversary is bronze so that's a suggestion, but only a suggestion. The main theme is birthday or anniversary. Diane has prepared a beautiful board for inspiration:
Prize is for ONE winner:
Spellbinders Hand Drawn Scallops embossing folder
Everything on my card is metallic, but the closest I could come to bronze was copper. I have a copper embossed flower from the Lisa Horton Peony Rose Stem embossing folder/die combo. There's chocolate shimmery metallic cardstock, and a base of pale gold metallic. Even the sequins are metallic. It's so much prettier in real life with all the texture and subtle shimmer and shine.
I would like to thank Diane and Darlene for all their efforts in presenting this challenge over the years, plus all the other challenges they're giving us now, too. Something for everyone! It has to be a monumental effort and I know we all appreciate it greatly.
Speaking of all those challenges, watch out for yet ANOTHER brand new challenge blog from Darlene and Diane! Tomorrow, January 4th, starts the first Word Power challenge. I know! Is there no stopping these girls? I think it's going to be fun!
I hope you can join us in our celebration at Double D. Have a wonderful day!

What a beautiful card Leslie! I bet the shimmer and shine on this one is FABULOUS in real life! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
Happy Birthday Double D!! You celebrated by putting together a beautiful card! I love you rose die. I'm looking forward to seeing what the new challenge will be! Thanks for the info!
So beautiful. I love those flowers, and of course, the rest of the card, too.
I'm not sure I would even have an embossing powder that would be good 'stand in' for Bronze - but I'll look!
You have found such a gorgeous copper in your stash - the fact that it is more 'matte' finished helps, Leslie. The fact that it is a GORGEOUS flower die makes me think it's perfect - and beautiful, too!
