Anniversary Card

 An Anniversary card today for friends, which I thought I'd make using purple instead of the traditional pink or red.  I love the combination of purple and white, it always reminds of my wedding many years ago, when I was in white and my bridesmaids were in purple. 
The background is embossed with a Creative Expressions 'Heart Lattice' embossing folder, one of my favourite e/f for anniversary cards.  The die cut heart is silver mirror card.

I am joining in the following challenges:
Crafty Cardmakers #256 ~ Celebrations
HLS May Anything Goes with Dies Challenge


My daughter gave me some money for Mother's Day to buy 'some of that craft cardboard you use'.  Can you tell she's not a crafter? LOL!  I went on the Sizzix website last week and spent the money in their 70% off sale and this arrived yesterday.  So much more exciting than buying 'craft cardboard'. 😊
