Anniversary roses

Hello again folks.  You may have noticed that my blog post for last Thursday  was missing.  That is because I have a completely rubbish memory and forgot to set the scheduler!!  So instead you get a bonus Sunday post :)

Anyway the card I should have posted was for the 48th wedding anniversary of my Dad's brother Terry and his wife, Sheila.  This uses the opposite die cut of the card I posted last week (a stripey anniversary)

To recap, the sentiment is made using strips of coloured card attached to a sheet of double sided adhesive.  This was then stamped and die cut to create the sentiment.

I used Clearly Besotted's Round Roses set to decorate a white panel from which I die cut the same sentiment and inlaid the striped piece.  I then added some Wink of Stella to the flowers and a few sequins to embellish.

This was a fun card to make and I hope you like it.  TTFN Jude xx

45th anniversary

Happy Sunday everyone. Hope you are having a lovely weekend. 

Today's card is one I made for my aunt and uncle who celebrated their 45th wedding anniversary yesterday. 

As 45 years is sapphire anniversary I went for a dark blue colour scheme. 

I used a 6x6 card blank and then dark navy blue embossed card. I had some navy blue and white ribbon in the stash that matched really well. 

I cut a couple of circle die cuts for the front and then added a Tonic fancy circle die cut on top. I then used a number die to cut the 45. 

I stamped the sentiment with an indigo pigment ink and then embossed it with clear embossing powder. 

I tied a bow for the top corner and added a flower which I inked with Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink. I then added a gem and pearl to the centre. 

To finish it off I put a little crystal butterfly in the other top corner.

As it was a special card again I made another little box and put some simple decorations on it and added a little butterfly charm. 

Hope you like it. 

See you soon. Take care.
