Anniversary card.

Good Morning All,  Its a little bit chillier here at the moment ,but the sky is blue and the sun is trying hard to get through. From my window I'm watching the trees change colour everyday, isn't nature wonderful.  Well, to-day's card is for my friend as its her Anniversary next week.   I've used hammered card for my base and  added an embossed piece that I distressed with Aged Mahogany & Dusty Concord . My favourite Marianne die (LR0236 ) was used for the centre.  The corners are also a Marianne die and the flowers were made with Mulberry paper and distressed in the colours I used previously. (These were the flowers that were on my WOYWW desk yesterday.) The butterfly was from a Crafty Individuals die and the ribbon from my much loved stash.  Now I'm off to see if I can create a few more cards before my visitors arrive next week.  Enjoy your Day whatever your up to, crafting or not.  Hugs Rita xxx
