30 years together!!

Good morning - not so bright and sunny today. But at least that makes me feel less guilty about staying in and crafting. Having a slow start to the morning - but have more commissions to work on - and a birthday present for a friend, so once I've blogged I shall have to get on with it. Such a chore!!!

Today's card was a commission from a friend's husband to give to his wife for their 30th wedding anniversary. He just gave me a copy of one of their wedding photos and left the rest to me. (I have obscured their faces on the photo for their privacy - just in case you're wondering what the blobs are!!) 

Because the flowers were peach, I wanted to use that along with pearlescent white card. I decided to go for an A5 tent fold card, made using Centura Snow White Pearl. I layered some matt white card onto this, then another piece of pearl embossed with Spellbinders Grand Dainty Dots. Along the bottom half of the card, I used some orangey peach Bazzill card - with just a little bit showing above a die cut pearl border (X Cut Rose Border die).

The paper at the bottom is from a lovely site on Etsy called Valeriane Digital. This is from a pack called Wedding Peach which has 12 gorgeous papers. 

The photo is mounted onto the Bazzill card, matt white, and a Spellbinders Decorative Label 1 cut from Centura Pearl. The flowers are made from the digi paper using Spellbinders Bitty Blossoms die, and the leaves are Centura pearl - cut with dies from the same set. The numbers are cut using CC 1" Numbers set, and I finished off with a pearly heart, peach coloured pearls, and some ribbon.

I used similar elements on the lid of the box - but left off the photo, and placed the flowers and numbers onto the square. 

On the inside of the box I used more of the papers and card, and a smaller decorative label 1.
