50th Wedding Anniversary

Hi Everyone, my card today is for a friend of mine, I have known her since we worked together 55 years ago, we sort of lost touch apart from Christmas cards and then after I retired, she was part of a get together of old workmates that I now go out with monthly. Here's a photo of me in the window of my old workplace, I like that they put me with some diarrhoea tablets LOL. (blue arrow points me out). The display with me in it! was because Boots was celebrating 120 years in Wales. Nope I wasn't there 120 years ago, nearly! but not quite.

Anyhow enough nonsense, on to my card. I used this card as inspiration Here.

50th Wedding Anniversary

Hello Everyone. I have a 50th Anniversary card for you today one of 2 I was asked to make for a friend, she asked for a picture of a bible with 2 rings and the inscription to love and cherish...... It was a difficult card to do, as the recipients wife has Alzheimer's, but my friend wanted him to know they had remembered. I felt a simple card would be best so here it is.

I searched the web for free of copyright images but couldn't find one, so came up with second best and took my own photo, with my Grandfather's Bible (could be Great Grandparents with the date printed as 1838), mine and hubby's rings and roses from the garden, I also added gold numbers in PS.

Another picture (one of many) I made into a background for the image in Photoshop. I added layers with dull gold card and card matching the colour of the roses, adding a ribbon to match. 

The Bible is battered on the outside, but, as it was a 50th Anniversary I thought it suitable. I'm glad to say the recipient was pleased with it.
