Allsorts Challenge ~ Inspired by a Song

A new Allsorts Challenge begins today and Sarah has chosen the theme 'Inspired by a Song'.  I chose the song 'Love Me for a Reason' by the Osmonds.  It was number one in the Official UK singles chart the day Alan and I were married, a really romantic song.  Just as well our wedding wasn't the day after, as the number that day was Kung Fu Fighting. 🤣  I decided to make an anniversary card for good friends of ours who celebrated their anniversary last weekend.
 
The card base was made with a set of  Made To Surprise 'Side Panel Showstopper' dies.  The patterned paper is from The Range.  I used a digi stamp from Bugaboo, which sadly is no long available.  The image was coloured with Promarkers.

The card folds flat for posting.

There are three lovely prizes of die sets from In2Craft to be won.

I am joining in the following challenges:

  6. Your anniversary card is such a creative and thoughtful interpretation of the theme. The sentiment and quirky design work perfectly together, making it a delightful tribute to your chosen song. Your connection to the chart-topping tune on your wedding day adds an endearing personal touch, and the clever use of the card's shape makes it even more special.
