This is my second post today. Please scroll down to see my Crafty Calendar Challenge DT card.
It's my turn to introduce this week's Allsorts Challenge and I've chosen the theme of 'Romantic Occasions'. I have already made several Golden Wedding Anniversary cards this year and still have a couple to make. I can't believe that my hubby and I will be celebrating ours in September. Where have the years gone!
I use this Marianne Design heart cross stitch die a lot for anniversary cards. I die cut the heart shape into a Memory Box ' Stitched Circle Layers' die cut. The stitching was done with crochet cotton. The mat is a Memory Box 'Stitched Scalloped Circle' die cut. I used a Creative Expression 'Heart Lattice' embossing folder for the raised part of the easel card and also on the base. The sentiment was typed on the computer and I added two die cut hearts from the Sue Wilson 'Mr & Mrs' set.
