Happy Anniversary ~ Vellum 3D + Muted Bamboo Artneko

Hullo there everyone!
I did this 3D card ages ago and always adored it - bought the set at the craft fair in Brisbane about 4 years ago. It was set of four by Romak cards in 3D. I have done them all, but not blogged as yet.
 As I was not well when a 30th wedding anniversary came up, I decided to use this one and add the stickers for 30th, etc. Hand embossed the vellum window of card, with embossing tool and simple grid pattern.
To see how to do more on 3D work look on this post here...
This second photo is for me more than anyone else, as was interested to see how I mounted this one ie what size mini squares used and just how. As really liked how this came off.
Here is another card I did a while ago now... I made it as present for my sister as like to give cards away as gifts!
You can see the method of doing the coloured background is the method with cling plastic wrap and ink by Barbara Gray.

The sheet of SU gloss card was coloured with method shown on above link then stamped with Hero arts Linen look background stamp inked it light grey London Fog, the stamped with the Artneko Muted Bamboo with calligraphy banner stamp in Ranger jet black Archival ink, mounted on black card with a coin from Affleck's in Manchester, UK stash with linen thread.. how loved that shop when there. The gorgeous Japanese washi paper was from "Paperchase" in Man. city, UK also.
I would like to enter this card in Di's Snippets Challenge over at the Playground woo hoo! 
The main piece of this card was in my snippets drawer for few weeks, with no idea what to do as there was blot in wrong spot but decided to trim it; hence used in odd shape and really makes it.
Well, thanks so much everyone for popping over for peek and chat, I will return comments as able still two weeks till new glasses...  
May God bless your day wherever you may be.

    Hope your eyes are a little better...slowly but surely I pray.

    Lovely cards...Cutting that mat on the bottom one was such a great idea...I think it looks even better than if you had left it as originally intended. The oriental metal piece is so perfect with this image!

    Love the vellum window on the first card. Another brilliant idea. Must try that!

    Like these two . Love the 3d effect on the first card and the plastic wrap over the card for the second one is a brilliant idea. Don't know how people come up with these idea. Hugs Mrs a.

    Both stunning creations Shaz, but I could tell even from the little thumbnail that the first one was really special and full size it really is.
