Krafty Chicks challenge #753 - anything goes

Good morning lovely friends. I hope you're all doing ok and having a great week so far. It's time for a new challenge over at Krafty Chicks challenge and this week as it's a 5 week month our theme is 'anything goes' and our hostess is Leanne.  Feel free to create anything you like, the world is your oyster lol! We hope you will come over and join in the fun with us.

It was my sister and brother-in law's 1st wedding anniversary recently (even though they've been together for 35 year lol!) so I took the opportunity to make them a card and I even bought a new stamp set especially for them.  I hope you like it:

Here is my card:

A closer look at the image:

Plus I decorated the inside:

I began by stamping the image onto alcohol marker friendly card with memento ink.  I coloured it with Promarkers and then created a mask so that I could ink blend around it using a kraft coloured ink.  As always I made a 5" x 7" card as it was a family card so I cut the panel to 4 1/2" x 6 1/2" and matted it onto a black panel with double sided tape.  I stamped the sister & brother in law sentiment onto a piece of white card and then die cut it using a heart shaped die.  I also stamped the happy anniversary sentiment onto scrap white card and die cut it with a rectangle die.  The 1st sentiment was stamped and cut out with a small heart die.  I inked all the edges of the die cuts with the kraft ink and added them to the panel with foam squares.  For a finishing touch I die cut some small hearts from glitter card and arranged them around the image with liquid glue.  The panel was then added to my card base with foam tape.  For the inside I cut a white panel 4 1/2" x 6 1/2" and matted it onto a black panel with double sided tape.  I stamped the sentiment in the centre with black ink and added two strips of the glitter card to the top and bottom with double sided tape.  The panel was then added to the card base with double sided tape.  I'm really happy with the finished result and my sister & BIL loved it thankfully.  

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
