Happy Anniversary!

I made this card for my brother and SIL for their 7th wedding Anniversary which was on Saturday.

The colours look a bit weak but it is actually a lovely dusky pink combo. I can't tell you how many times I made this card then chucked it! I just couldn't seem to get it right ( we've all been there right?!) I was following a sketch but it just wasn't working for me so I chucked that as well!

Then it all came together. The heart was cut three times from George -twice in card and once in spotty paper.These layers were then stuck together (this gives you a solidity akin to chipboard) and scuffed to give a weathered look. A layered flower was added ( brown,pink & cream layers to pick out the colours in the ribbon)

The 'seven' panel was cut from the Graphically Speaking cart and trimmed to fit. The ribbon is patterned with little flowers in shades of cream,coffee and pink. A Safmat greeting and gem stones complete the card.

Recipe as follows:

5" x 7" tent fold card

Doodlebug embossed paper

Spotty paper from Pink Petticoat

Bazill cardstock

Prima flowers

Papermania gems & pearl brads

Safmat from Letraset

George & Basic Shapes and Graphically Speaking Cricut carts
