Hi folks from MadDi
"A wedding anniversary is an anniversary of the date on which a wedding took place. Married persons who regard the day of their marriage as important may mark the occasion in some special way. In the Commonwealth realms one can receive a message from the monarch for 60th, 65th, and 70th wedding anniversaries, and any wedding anniversary after that."
By the time you read this post I will be almost on holiday in the UK. One of the special occasions I have planned to attend is the 60th wedding anniversary of my friends Reg and Lily.
This is my card for Reg and Lily - no diamonds just a little bling!
It is based on one of my favourite designs from a previous post:
This is what I started with:
- 1 sheet of ivory cardstock
- 1 sheet of patterned paper
- Photographs of Reg and Lily for the inside of the card
- A pile of ribbon
- Florist wire and florist tape
I made some flowers by:
- Folding the ribbon
- Attatching some florist wire
- Wrapping it up with florist tape:
For the card:
- Cut the cardstock 7" by 12"
- Cut the PP 6 " by 12"
- Ink and attach the PP to the cardstock
For the vase:
- Cut 1 piece of cardstock 4 by 5 inches and 1 piece of PP 3 1/2 by 4 1/2 inches.
- Attach the PP to the cardstock and score 1 cm from each side.
- Fold back. Use this fold to attach the vase to the card. Create a 3D effect!
I used the photographs on the inside:
I think that these days it's a once in a lifetime experience to be attending a 60th wedding anniversary!!! I am truly blessed...
Thanks for visiting IACW!
Love from MadDi
