Welcome
(Edited) This will now be altered to a sympathy card - they didn't make it... by 10 days.
Why should an anniversary card be bittersweet - because this will be the 63rd, and last, barring a miracle, anniversary for this couple, as one has a terminal diagnosis...
The background was made using the SS Simply Love text stamp
The flower was stamped, gold embossed and fussy cut and had some Mustard Seed DI brushed onto the base of the petals
The leaves were die curt from some paper that I had brushed various green watercolour paints on, and then sprayed with a gold mica spray.
I stamped the sentiment with the same green ink in the background stamping, trimmed and then I wiped the edge over the Mustard Seed ink
I tied some sparkly gold thread around the stamped base three times, and mounted the sentiment over that.
The main panel was mounted over white card that I had inked direct to paper in the green along the edges, than it was mounted over the yellow base
The inside was finished with some washi tape in greens and yello0w.

so beautiful Maxine. It will be loved by the recipients. And a sad story
WOW! Maxie, this is such a beauty! I love the embossing and those leaves... they look amazing! Lovely card!
How sad, so very difficult to create for then knowing such awful news, but a lovely card all the same and I am sure it will lift their hearts.

Maxine I am so sorry you need to alter this to a sympathy card. It is a really pretty card. You can really see you put alot of time into this.
You are the Queen of embossing, Maxine. I still struggle (and probably always will). I popped by to take a closer peek at this pretty card because I saw that it was the WINNER over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies. What a treat to win that wonderful prize. Pick out something FUN.
Have a blessed week,
Karen

Oh Maxine- such a beautiful Anniversary card- with your signature embossing of that gorgeous flower. So very sorry it has turned into a Sympathy card! 53 years is quite some time, and something to be proud of!!!
Super card Maxine, I have never seen those tropical looking leves in a die before, very effective. CarolG
