Anniversary card




I made this card for my friend and her husband for their Anniversary. I always struggle with Wedding and Anniversary cards so I was pleased that it worked out OK. The hardest bit on this card was getting the string of pearls glued to the ribbon. It was a nightmare. I cut the the lady's head silhouette (Marianne die (LR0140) from some gorgeous gold paper I found in my stash and added a pearl and a feather. It does not show very well in the photograph but works really well with the gold embossed velum.
I have entered this card in the challenges listed below.

Hi Shirley,
I got a chuckle out of hearing the pearl string gave you fits. At least it's not just me lol. You did a fantastic job bringing focus to your ribbon and we're so glad you joined us at Top Tip Tuesday for the Focus on the Ribbon challenge.
Remember you can enter up to 3 projects and 3 tips.
Hugs,
Lisa
