Silver Wedding Anniversary

Today is the Silver Wedding Anniversary of my brother Chris (yes another Chris!!) and wife Jane.

I wanted a special card for them and this is what I came up with.

Colour combo of Silver and White.

I computer generated the greeting on the base card.

For the background I used what is fast becoming my favourite - Creative Elements,

stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with Silver EP.

Matted this onto a rectangle of   Silver card (non SU)

I heat embossed in silver an  Apothecary Art image for the centre label, hand cut round this.

and then matted onto a silver frame cut with the Framelits Label Collection Die.

 I added a computer generated name plate for the centre.

Clean and Simple, but classy methinks.

Happy Silver Wedding Anniversary Chris and Jane - may you enjoy many more!!

Celia's Birthday Card

Yesterday was one of our Crafty Bloggers friends, Celia's birthday.

Here is the card that I made for her.

The colour combo is Midnight Muse and Very Vanilla.
The background from Baroque Motifs stamp set (sadly retired now!)
was stamped with Versamark and heat embossed with clear EP.
(It does look rather like black in the photo - when IRL it looks glossy !)
The Centre Panel is from the Apothecary Art stamp set, as is the sentiment,
and these are both inked in Midnight Muse.
The only embellishment is the Very Vanilla ribbon.
Another CAS but classy card (methinks!)

Happy Birthday Celia - have a great day!! xx

Maggie and Ger's Anniversary.

Today is my sister Maggie and husband Gerald's Wedding Anniversary
and here is the card that I have made for them.

Really clean and simple, but I think elegant card .  Whisper White and Silver embossing powder.
I used Creative Elements flourishes stamp for the background,
Apethecary Elements for the centre panel, cut out and layered onto some silver card from my stash,
then cut using the Labels Collection Framelits Dies.
The sentiment is from a retired stampset.
Finished off with a knot-less bow in 5/8" Satin Ribbon.
Happy Anniversary!!

Apothecary Art

I haven't used this stamp set (Apothecary Art) to it's full potential.

There are 4 motif stamps and 2 sentiments in this set and some of them have not yet been inked!!

I'm sure that I'm not alone in this!!

The colour combo of this Z fold card is Pretty in Pink and Old Olive

with  minimal bling - 3 basic pearls.

Clean and simple!
