Comfortable

Welcome, 
and thank you for taking the time to visit.

A special  welcome also to my newest follower, Birgit Angermann.

This card was made for the 53rd Wedding Anniversary of a family couple


The image is from Montarga, (a New Zealand firm) called Couple on Bench

I embossed it using platinum ep, and watercoloured it


The sentiment, a magazine freebie, was also platinum embossed


I placed the complete panel onto the green background, and thought it too stark, so die cut a negative frame - I was so pleased with the result.


The inside had a strip of green washi tape in a leaf pattern - a tribute to the wife's love of gardening.
The envelope also had the washi tape on it.
