Friends of ours celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary this month and this is the card I made for them.
I used a new Marianne Designs 'Cross Stitch Heart' die and stitched the stripy cross stitch design with crochet cotton. The background of my card was embossed with a Creative Expressions 'Heart Lattice' embossing folder and I added a strip of ribbon across the middle. The heart is attached with foam pads. The sentiment is a golden brown colour, although it looks more red in the photo. Three heart shaped pearls finished off my card.
I am joining in the following challenges:

What a special card you made for them and it is a beauty. The two colors of thread look beautiful together and really enhance the heart. The embossing folder is perfect and the colorful sentiment is lovely. They will be so touched.
