Hi Everyone, well the heat has broken, why was I complaining? Now I miss it! I suppose the upside is, we don't have to water the garden.
One of my old work colleagues celebrated her 60th Wedding Anniversary and this is the card I made for her.
I went looking for a heart and found this in my stash, a NBUS, I've not got any identity for it, so if anyone knows, I can edit and add the information here. Anyhow, I started with embossing the outer edge, another NBUS, both had for at least 3 years, then stamped the sentiment and die cut the heart and 60 twice. Then layered them together and added them to the embossed card. I cut a silver layer for it, then added them to the main card. Only then did I decide to add gems and as the hole was too large for the silver gems, I added a pearl. Not sure that it's right, but? I also added silver glitter gel pen to the tiny flowers and the bottom of the centre heart.
The envelope sentiment, which I have meant to show before, was sent with a prize I received from The Snippets Playground. I love it and use it on most of my envelopes. I couldn't get a good photo of the card standing up, so used the one I laid the card onto the envelope.
That's so very elegant Faith, beautifully designed for a very special occasion.

Not only elegant, but also so sweet and full of dimensions, love this Anniversary card! Beautiful heart die and embossed panel and the touches of silver are just perfect, as well the half pearl. The sentiment on the envelope is so adorable!
ReplyDeleteOh, your friends are sure to cherish that card. What a unique and pretty heart die. Can't help you name it as I've never seen it before but it goes perfectly with the embossing folder. We've gotten a slight break in our heat too, but no rain, alas. We are in what they call Exceptional Drought, the highest level. We were cloudy with lightning and thunder but not a drop fell. God's just teasing us now, lol. XOX
ReplyDeleteVery pretty and elegant card FIth … the embossing round the edges is really pretty and the heart arrangement is really gorgeous. I’m sure your friend will be delighted with it
