Diamond Wedding Card
Good Morning Everyone. The sun is shining and the snowdrops and grape hyacinths are showing their heads in the garden. Doesn't it make you feel so much better after the horrible weather we have had over the winter. My card to-day is one of a few I am making for members of my Daughter-in-Law's family. Her parents are celebrating 60 years of marriage on the 27th February. This is the first of them, its an 8 x 8 card and I decided to make my own version of the shadow box card that my blogging friend Brenda Brown did for Valentines Day. I thought at first it might be too heavy, but I went ahead anyway, as you do. The papers were from our very own Astrid MacLean who kindly gives us a Friday Freebie every week and I fell in love with recent ones, so my theme was based around the papers. I think the sun has played tricks with my contrasting card as it was a dull silver colour, and to finish it off there are 60 diamond gems around the card. I also made a matching bag. I have used everything on Astrid's sheet, and the finished card worked out perfectly. Hope you all enjoy your day. Hugs Rita xxx

A very pretty card, Rita, and I love the matching bag. The butterflies are gorgeous. And, yes, the better weather is definitely cheering us all up. We were down at Culzean on Sunday and spotted the first of the lambs on the way and snowdrops out in the hundreds - just lovely! Hope the chest x-ray didn't show up anything too sinister and that you are now having effective treatment for what is causing that troublesome cough. Looking forward to meeting up when you feel up to it. Elizabeth xx
What a beautiful combination of card and bag, really, really pretty.
Hope all went well with the x-ray and they can give you something for the troublesome cough.

Isn't there a quote along the lines of "Life is in the details"?
This card is all about the details, embellishing the card with 60 gems is such a thoughtful idea and will create a beautiful sparkle around the frame.
As always, when you create a box or bag, it makes the presentation of a special card all the more special.
So good to see you creating again.
