Daring Cardmakers - The Anniversary Waltz & Polka Doodles Challenge 14

I've managed to combine 2 challenges again - Daring Cardmakers & Polka Doodles.

Keryn has set the challenge at Daring Cardmakers as follows:-

As I'm completely involved in the planning and preparation for my 2nd Anniversary, Hostess Appreciation party as a Stampin' Up!® demonstrator the dare that came to mind was Anniversaries. Wedding Anniversaries are what automatically comes to mind but you could make cards to celebrate any special occassion in your life or someone else's life.

and over at Polka Doodles there's the following great sketch:-


My card:-


All papers and alphas are from Polka Doodles Sugar Birdies CD
Bazzill Card Stock
Retro Flower Punches
I used In the buff Peek-a-Boo Flowers from Craftwork Cards as a template for the larger two flowers.
1/2" and 3/4" circle punches
Diamond Glaze (over the alphas)
Brad from stash
Faux stitching
Stickles

To create the swirly bits I cut thin slithers from the Bazzill cardstock and wound them around a thin pokey tool.
