50th. Wedding Anniversary Card

Well, hello good stampers, I do hope that you are having a good weekend. If you don't manage to get some creating in this weekend, I hope it's because you are doing something fun!

Today I'm posting a card that I made a couple of days ago for some good friends who are celebrating their 50th. Wedding Anniversary this weekend. I wanted to do something special for them and I hope they will like it. I used Stampendous' Seth and Sarabeth as my image, I think it's a great stamp to use for Anniversaries. I coloured with my Copics, as always, then sponged around them with my Versa Magic 'Aloe Vera' chalk ink, it was the perfect shade for my papers, which are ' Origins' by Basic Grey. I love these papers and I'm heartbroken as I've now used up all of the dark brown one which I used for the main background!! I guess I have to get some more!! I used my circle and Pinking Nesties to frame the image, then pop dotted it onto the different pieces of the papers, bordering one with YoYo Yellow, which I also used for the Pinking piece and also to mat the main papers. I used Wild Wasabi for the other piece of paper and also for the card base. I used the same W. Wasabi for the sentiment, which is from Kraftin' Kimmies Everyday Sentiments . I cut out the 50 from my Cuttlebug Dies, (I love those things) and finished off with some cute Prima flowers and some Maize ribbon, which matches the YoYo yellow perfectly. Now I have to find the perfect verse to go inside.

Well, that's it for me, back to work. I'd much rather be stamping!!

Blessings to you all,

Diana

Lucy and Ricky's Anniversary!

Well, it's Monday evening and I'm going to post this card finally. I made it for a couple in England and I had to wait until I was sure they had it as they do sometimes check out my blog.

I have lived in Canada for 42 years now and these folks are friends I knew before I ever emigrated with my husband. We are all from the same village, in fact Ray and I lived next door to each other. I went to school with Joan and she was a couple of years ahead of me. I will always be grateful to Joan as she gave me typing lessons when I was about 13 or 14. I still remember going to her house, she tried to teach me shorthand also, but I didn't do nearly as well at that. Anyway, Joan and Ray have been married for 45 years now and we 'found' each other again due to my cousin, who went to visit them and gave me their address about 9 or 10 years ago, I think. We have been emailing back and forth ever since, as well as talking on the phone once in a while. It's wonderful to rediscover a friendship. Anyway, if you read this Ray and Joan, I hope you had a wonderful Anniversary.

Now to the card. I used 'Lucy and Ricky' one of the last release of Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps. I think these guys are so cute and I was happy to have an excuse to use the stamp. I'm going to have to put my thinking cap on as I sent it a while ago and I didn't write down what I used.

Of course I coloured those little guys with my Copics and I used S.U. Bella Birds DP and matched it with Going Gray and Pink Pirouette cardstock. I did some stitching on this card, which I love to do, added some Prima Flowers and some Pink Pirouette Ribbon and tied a heart charm on it.

Well, that's it for today, think I'm going to go and mount some Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps that I already have for next month's release!! I'm not a tease or anything, but they are FABULOUS.

I can't wait to start creating with them. Tee Hee!!

I'll be back soon,

Blessings,

Diana
