A Silver Anniversary card


 We went to a very posh Silver Wedding Anniversary do on Saturday night - so posh I had to wear a frock (only the 2nd time this year!!!) and of course a card was needed, and I was a little last minute dot com!!!!
So I went for a simple WOW card - embossing the cardsstock with a sizzix hearts folder and a vine leaves folder, leaving a scored section for the organza ribbon.  I added a mat embossed in a Provocraft hearts folder and then 2 Marianne Creatible die cut hearts in glittery silver cardstock.  Finally a double bow, some pearls and the stamped sentiment.  Very quick and easy!!

And here is me and hubby all dressed up ...
