63rd Wedding Anniversary

Well, the Welsh summer is a wash-out so far. I can't believe that it's the end of July and we have only had a handful of hot, sunny days. While I'm sitting here typing the wind is howling and the rain is lashing down outside. Hopefully the weather is better wherever you are.

It was my lovely in-laws 63rd wedding anniversary yesterday. They are a wonderful and devoted couple. This is the card I made for them.

I printed a paper from the Kraftyhands CD Emporium of Curiosities on to linen card. I removed a square in the centre and added a piece of ribbon around one side of the frame before fixing it on to a 7"x 7" piece of linen card.

I printed the vintage rose image a few times on photo paper and decoupaged it with foam pads. I then positioned it onto the card front.

The sentiment was printed on the computer and lightly inked. I finished the card with a double bow, and a pink gem.

My in-laws spent their anniversary having a lovely day out and eating fish and chips. What better way to celebrate 63 years of marriage?
I've entered this card in the following challenges:
