Love Begins with Friendship

Well, as you can see, I have another anniversary card; and no puns this time around.

 

This is for a couple who we’ve known the husband since he was a young brat, I mean boy. LOL.  They have been happily married for eight years now.  I did this card in one of my favorite colors, I’m not sure if you can see, but the red background paper is lightly embossed with hearts.  The image is by Digi Doodle Shop; I thought they were so sweet.  Her dress and his shirt is paper pieced and then shaded over, to add depth.



All of the doilies are by Cheery Lynn Designs.  I love, love, love their die cuts.  The paper at the top of the card and the bottom doily under the image is by Basic Grey. The doilies top might have looked better if they were cut a little darker, or backed with a dark color, but at this point I decided not to trash it and start over. And don’t you just love the Victorian Romance Flourish?  How do you like the idea of using them like a frame?

The pearls there and on the lace are a very deep red, even though they look a little more like black. The bow is another one that was made with the Bow-Easy. The flowers and lace are from my stash.
