The card is a easel fold card topped with a magnolia stamped image, this has been coloured with pro-markers. this has been cut on my big shot with a scolloped die. this has been topped on to pale pink paper from stock, then on to deep purple card. the topper has been placed in the top middle of the easel, the backing paper is floral embossed paper from the hobby craft store (I realy should try and remember to write down the makers of these things...)
also on the front of the card is more hand made flowers in pink & purple with ribbon leaves. these have been attached with gel glue. (if any one wants tips on how to make the flowers feel free to ask..(but I did find out how via google..)) the same sentiment is on the card as on the box lid.

happy Anniversary my darling Pete.. Love you... (too much mush?? sorry)

The second card is for Tina, one of the women I work for, I know I have mentioned her before, but Tina was born without limbs.. not that it stops her from doing much... she's very smart! (too smart for her own good some days).... love u bean xx
