Embossed anniversary

The following sketch was more of a challenge for me than usual, but I am happy with the results.  I even got good advice from DH - and followed it LOL!!!  The embossed pieces are from a Sizzix set (I have forgotten the name.)  I used the middle part of the A2 folder.  I divided the "with love" strip. Teal chalk enhances the embossing.   The die cut is from a CB border I have had a long time - the flowers at the bottom are part of the die.  I cut in both teal and white, and layered them - that just gives a bit of an edge IRL, and adds dimension.  Tiny pearls create the center of the flowers  The white flowers are Petaloo.  No name on the dp - it has long been in my stash.
