This card was a complete rush job. My brother's wife's parents celebrated 50 years of marriage yesterday and I didn't feel that I could let it pass without some form of acknowledgement. I only found out yesterday morning when my SIL turned up out the blue on my doorstep (she lives quite a distance away) en-route to her parents house. I hope it doesn't look too rushed (I would've loved to have done something a little more detailed, but time was against me).
I've used my nesties to create the easel card, I've then embossed the pearlescent card and swiped it over with a gold ink pad. I've stamped the duo of birds and heat embossed them and then punched out the heart. The flower was made using my trusty 3D flower die, I did it a little differently this time and left room for a centre. Unfortunately, I've had to use peel offs for the sentiment (shhhh don't tell anyone) as my handwriting today was awful, I didn't have a suitable stamp and I couldn't get a digi stamp to print in gold and the card I was using didn't want to know about heat embossing the digi either!
