Seventy years- oh my goodness can you imagine that? I've not even heard of anyone celebrating so many years together before, never mind been asked to make a card for the event.Amazing! Apparently both husband and wife are in their 90s and fit as fiddles. Isn't that just wonderful? The husband says that he wakes up every morning and says a little prayer that he will make to their anniversary. I so hope he does.
I was asked to make the card by my mum's neighbour. I must admit I was a little hurt when she admitted to looking all round the shops first and couldn't find one with 70 on so came to me. However, all is forgiven now as she started crying when she saw the card, because as she said 'It is so beautiful'. Ah, how lovely is that?
Makes all the wasted paper yesterday (I wasn't in the mood and did everything wrong) and extra grey hairs worthwhile.
The card is 8" x 8" as I thought this particularly event needed something special. The hearts are peel offs stuck on the beautiful roses paper which I believe my friend Irene gave me some time ago. Think it is an Anna Griffin design, but I'm not sure. After cutting the hearts out I attached them to the vellum which overlays more of the rose bud paper. I love the effect of vellum over a patterned paper - such a gentleness to it.
As I have trimmed my card with ribbon and gold peel offs it is suitable for the challenge at Die Cut Dreams where this week the team are asking to see ribbons and trims.
Just discovered that the challenge at Creative Inspirations is Numbers and letters so just incase I don't get chance to do another card for that challenge I'm entering this one. Do check their challenge out though - some gorgeous work from the design team and their guest designer Torico.
Thank you so much for looking and for the lovely comments I have received this week. I do appreciate them.
