Silver Wedding Card

Here we are the beginning of another week, aren't they flyng past.  Well I am another year older to-day and what a start to the day.  Lots of fabulous crafty things to play with from my dear friends ( you know who you are ) and of course my family who I love dearly.  
Now all I need to finish my day would be to see our very own Andy Murray winning the Wimbledon Men's Final, that would be the icing on the cake for me.
My card today is for my son Alisdair & my daughter-in-law Anne who celebrate their Silver Wedding in August.  They leave for a holiday the same day as their anniversary and I just come back from my holidays a few days before, so I better be on the ball with my July and August cards.
My base card is  8 X 8 white hammered card and I added two die cut borders to each side.  I then used the Diesire Embossing folder 'Elegance' that has a panel for ribbon etc.  I used organza ribbon with hearts down the centre that I bought ages ago. The addition of a couple of Spellbinder dies to finish my card, and of course I just had to add a crushed silk ribbon bow with one of my own made flowers.  I will add a box to keep the card safe and clean.
Thank-You all for another great year and I look forward to many more.    Hugs Rita xxx

What a wonderful card Rita - I'm sure they will be thrilled with this.
And a very big/loud 'happy birthday' to you (with humble apologies attached). A card is on its way but I got the dates wrong (feeling stupid right now) so just know you are being thought of and wished the very best of days. Crossing everything that Andy can deliver an extra pressie by way of a win today.
Hugs birthday hugs, Jenny x
