My card this time round is an Anniversary card. I decided I wanted to use a memory box die that I have never used (Queen of Hearts)) and then I sat and looked at it and wondered what to do with it!...and this is what I came up with.....
I took some roses paper from The LOTV pad -Always and Forever and covered the front of my card blank.I the created a vellum wrap fixed at one end at the back of the card and cut my heart in a dusky pink satin card. The solid heart in the middle comes out.I attached the die cut to the front centre of my vellum and then placed the solid heart on the rose backing paper under the vellum to line up with the front.........result a muted pink heart in the middle. I stamped Happy Anniversary on to the vellum, added some tiny pearls and there we have it!
I quite like...what do you think? I would be interested to know.
Well it's pouring with rain here now, just in time for the weekend! Probably spend some of it tidying up and now the utility room needs painting because the new boiler is slightly different in size to the old one.How does one job manage to make two others?
Thank you for stopping by and leaving me nice comments that make my day, it is as always very much appreciated and nice to know I have such good blogging friends out there. Stay well and enjoy your weekend.

Ooh how was the hot shower?! This card is fabulous Carole! Vellum does add something special and the way you've added the die-cut is great, it looks stunning. Especially the stamped sentiment, straight onto the vellum - did you hold your breath while you did it??? I would have been! Looking forward to Tues x

Elegant and classy, that's what your card is, Carole! The vellum adds a softness and gentleness to your patterned paper, and that, combined with the gorgeous die cut in pink satin (swooning...) makes for stunning!! Whoever receives this will adore it, as do I....thoughtful, heart-warming, lovely! Wow!! Hope the boiler fix went well and that you're embracing hot showers once again...
