50th Wedding Anniversary

A week or so ago good friends of ours celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary and the card I made for them is posted on my blog HERE.  Yesterday we celebrated with them and a group of friends at an anniversary lunch and cream tea.  To enable the happy couple to choose something for their garden as a gift from us all, I made a gift card to give them the money we collected so they could choose their own gift. 
I used the same gold, pearlised card as I used in the other card I gave them.  The decorative square dies I used were from the Xcut 'Heart Frames' set of dies and the little heart is one of the Sue Wilson 'Mr & Mrs' dies.

This is the inside of the card, using the other dies from the Xcut 'Heart Frames' set.  I made a pocket from a piece of white card and added a strip of the gold, pearlised card across the top. (I changed all the money into £10 notes so they all fitted in neatly. 😉) The right hand side was left blank for all our friends to write their own personal messages.  All the gold die cuts were snippets left over from the previous card I made, so I'll be sharing my card over in the Playground.

I am joining in the following challenges:

    1. I couldn't put in £20 notes as they were too big for the card. LOL! They've bought a beautiful triple bird feeder and a gorgeous large wind feature with the money. xx
