Welcome
I made it!! I have had my surgery, and am temporarily typing with one hand...
I made this card in January..
The background was stamped with a large SSS Love Is stamp in Memento London Fog ink.
I machine stitched around the panel, then sat and thought.... and did sone research, and found that
The 20th Anniversary is the 'China' one, Platinum is the metal and emerald green the colour...
The hearts were die cut from Emerald green glitter card, and adhered to look like steam rising.
I die cut the cup (Stamp Simply Tea or Coffee) from DP, then brushed ink around it. and the number of the anniversary was cut from silver and adhered to the cup.
The sentiment was embossed in platimum ep.
The cup was 'grounded' with some washi tape, just the top part of the design.
The internal panel was also stitched around.
The envelope was decorated with a full width of the washi tape.
I am linking this to:
I love this card, partly because I also love a cup of tea. (I mostly only drink tea or water). You did a perfect job incoporating the colour, metal and china in your card. I hope the recipient appreciated their significance. The 'heart shaped' steam was a great idea. Kate x

It's lovely Maxine and how lovely to reflect the anniversary years. Maybe between us we can make a pair of hands and type much quicker?

A lovely card, I do like the shape of the cup. Fluted like that it looks very elegant and the steam portrayed as hearts is a great idea. Lovely card in every way.
ReplyDeleteWhat is this about an operation? The last I knew of you had hurt your leg. Gosh Maxine, you are in the wars. Sending healing thoughts and prayers.
