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 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
Such a beautiful card Maxine. Love the sparkle and pretty tea cup!
Wishing you a speedy recovery from surgery! Doing anything one-handed is definitely not easy!!
Thanks so much for sharing at my Crafty Wednesday challenge!

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?

Very pretty Anniversary card, Maxine. The glittery heart "steam" is perfect for the occasion. Thank you for sharing at Word Art Wednesday this week! Take care.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery Faith! It seems that crafting with one hand is a trend at this moment... you, Brenda and Mervi are in the same situation!
Lovely Anniversary card and love those emerald glittered hearts!
I am glad to hear your surgery went well. Hope your recovery does too. Love all those little shiny hears and your hand drawn frame. You have reminded me that I need to make an anniversary card xx

Pleased that your surgery went well. This is a well thought out card. A perfect anniversary card.

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.
What 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.
Blessings, neet xx
Wow Maxine what a lovely anniversary card. Hope you are healing and feeling good. Hugs, Carol
Maxine, May you soon be typing with both hands. This card is just lovely on so many levels. As usual lots of card details come together to tell a beautiful story. You are so thoughtful with what you do! Smiles, Kathy
