Ruby Wedding Anniversary Card


A 40th wedding anniversary card made for friends. I have used the Tattered Lace essentials book die. I have used red and white card alternatively. I have embossed the white pages with a Crafts Too embossing folder. I have attached the pages onto a A4 card. I curved the pages around a rolling pin, I then stuck them down with double sided tape in the centre and foam pads on the ends. I have cut two red scalloped ovals using a Go Kreate die from a nesting set and two flourishes with a Cheery Lynn die. I have printed a personalised sentiment and die cut it with a scalloped oval, I also cut another white oval for the opposite side and added the numbers which have been cut using Tattered Lace dies. I cut the bookmark in red and white and embossed the white. I attached them to the centre of the pages and then added a congratulations sentiment. I assembled all these elements and then added flowers from my stash and handmade stick pins using Pinflair. I completed my card with Nuvo drops from Tonic and ribbon

  21. This is great...Love the white and red combo. We are blessed that you linked with our Challenge at Word Art Wednesday and inviting you to join us again in our current challenge. Leaving you with the encouragement from God's Word in Romans 15:5-6 which tells us, "May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ." Have a great Memorial Day weekend.

    Blessings,
