Where has the sun gone? It was here yesterday, it looks like autumn has arrived!
I made this card for friends' Ruby Wedding Anniversary this month, using red, cream and snippets of gold.
The embossing folder is Darice 'Dots' and I used x-cut postage stamp nesting punches for the squares, layering the gold card with foam pads. The hearts were little shiny gems.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
For the next anniversary card, I used snippets of purple with a larger postage stamp punch, winding silver metallic thread around the corners.
When we go on holiday I often take a little box of snippets and a few flower punches. If it's pouring down with rain, I can make little punched flowers in a variety of colours, so I always have some ready to hand for that last minute card!
I bet your friends will be really pleased to receive their card :) They are both lovely but I think the red is my favourite (which is strange I normally go for the blues and purples like my mum but recently I've been liking the more fire-y colours!)
ReplyDeleteI usually go more for the purples too, but seem to have used red quite a lot lately. x
DeleteTwo beautiful cards Liz....We have lost the sun today also.xxx
ReplyDeleteThe sun has just come out again here. Fingers crossed it's here to stay for a while. x
DeleteI love both cards Liz, they are very pretty. Brilliant thinking to wind the thread around the corners, very nice. Big hug from Veerle xxx
ReplyDeleteBoth are nice cards Liz, I like the postage stamps punches you used. I love the colours in the second one and the way you have wrapped the corners with thread.

What a great idea to build up a stash of little flowers to make into inches and then turn into beautiful snippets cards and these pretty anniversary ones! Beautifully done, Liz!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely darling designs Liz.
