Imagine being married 60 years ... yep 60 years. You get less for murdering someone these days!! And imagine still being very, very much in love ... amazing! We are off on Saturday to help Harry and Margaret celebrate their 60tyh Wedding Anniversary. Just over a month ago we were at the 2nd grand-daughter's wedding!
Anyway I thought I would have a go at making something a bit special for them, so I have had go at a secret box card. Its by no means perfect, but for my 1st one it not bad ...
I used
Young love from Sugar Nellie's Homegrown range, and coloured it using my promarkers and flexmarkers. The dp is DCWV Linen CLoset, it nearly borke my heart cutting into them, and I used flowers, ribbon, lace and pearls from my stash. The corner detail was made using a Spellbinders accent and the 60 was from a CB alphabet set.
Inside I put a key which Ellie kindly painted with antique brass crackle paint for me, and added a bouquet of flowers and some ribbon (I am RUBBISH at doing flowers!!) I added some lace, layered flowers and hearts made from a Marianne Creatible die.
Challenges:

Fab and Funky - Its a hard theme - I don't do fussy and floral arrangements!!!
