My card to-day is a Wedding card that is going to Australia, and it was one I was asked to do by my daughter in law. I used 350gsm hammered card to make a 5 x 7 base. Using mostly dies and tartan card I managed to create a card that was 'Scottish' I added some pearls and of course some heather tied with a white organza bow to finish it off. The box is really quite plain with the addition of another die. Now I have 3 Diamond Wedding cards to make and a Ruby Wedding one too, so need to get my thinking cap on for those. Hope you are all enjoying some sunshine to-day as its absolutely beautiful here in the West of Scotland. Hugs Rita xxxx

Gorgeous!
You certainly had a fun time which I am so glad to read as you deserved it after so many weeks of poor health.
This is certainly much more than a card. This will be treasured by the couple for a lifetime and the way you created a box makes it all the more special.

Hi Rita,
such a superb card and box. I love the design it is so fabulous as are all your creations.
Have a wonderful crafty day.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Wow, wow, wow, what a stunner of a card!! I bet whoever receives it will be thrilled! I can just imagine it being on display on some Australian mantle piece for a long time to come, (though not sure how many Australians have mantle pieces... apparently they are having the hottest summer there for 14 years!
Glad to hear you had such a fun time with your grand kiddies too, and guess what, we had sunshine here in Edinburgh too yay!
Beautiful card Rita! love the paper you used.... Having grand kids around is a wonderful thing isn't it? I love it when mine are here. Hugs
