Today I have a quick post to share a card I made for a friend who recently celebrated her 25th wedding anniversary.
This was very hard to photograph because of the reflections so my apologies for that.
I just love dies and recently got sucked into another sale, this time by Sizzix, where I bought the lace coverplate and the heart frame that you can see on this card.
I cut the lace from a pice of thin card to create a stencil and used brilliance silver ink through it onto a piece of silver paper for the insert and the white envelope
the cover plate was cut from white card and mounted on a metalic silver panel. The heart frame was mounted on vellum and the numbers attached
I am rather liking this lace die, so I hope it will mean it gets plenty of use.
My friend and her husband liked the card anyway, which is the main thing, and it was very easy and quick to make.
I am sharing this at:

Wow, that's so beautiful in silver for their 25th anniversary. It's always difficult to take a picture withoit any refelection with glossy paper...

A lovely, elegant card, Hilary. The lace looks wonderful, and I love the look of the card with so many looks(?) of silver on it. Even the heart - I felt it doubled up as a diamon as well, its just splendid! I'm glad you got to get your hands on those dies! :)
So pretty with the lovely delicate filigree die Hilary, perfect for occasion.
