I have made an Anniversary card for my husband, it was our 15th wedding anniversary last Wednesday! I had already made him a card, but it's a bit cutesy and a bit fussy, and I know he's not such a big fan of that style!
It wasn't until I had constructed this card, whilst deciding on a sentiment to go in the pretty frame, that I decided to make it his Anniversary card.
Yes, it's pink, and has a flower on it, but, this is fairly understated for me!
I chose the pretty papers from My Mind's Eye 'Blush' paper stack, as the colours are perfect for this challenge.
I took the pink patterned paper, and stitched around the edge of it using a fancy stitch.
I then created a smaller panel using the sweet birds on the bunting, and thought the sentiment 'Such a Lovely Day' was perfect for an Anniversary card, or for a wedding.
I then stitched this panel onto some tan card, then stamped the pink frame onto some damask paper from the same stack.
The sentiment and little hearts are stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa, and are from Waltzingmouse Stamps Sweethearts set.
The pretty frame is from Holiday Labels 14, also from WMS.
I added a Pink Tea Rose and some Twill Champagne Stripe both from the Ribbon Reel, and added some little pink pearls to the label, and little punched butterfly.
I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
