It is now a year (and a day) since our middle daughter was married. The year has flown by and much has changed but Elisha and Tim are happier than ever and expecting their first baby in a couple of months. I have made a card to celebrate their first wedding anniversary and used the colours from their wedding.
It's an 8"x 8" card base that I layered with peach coloured card. I printed the background using a paper from the upcoming Kraftyhands Romantique Collection CD onto linen card.
The flowers were made by die-cutting white crepe paper with the Sue Wilson Perfect Peony die set, and colouring the layers with Ripe Persimmon DI. The centres are silver beads.
The frame is from a Joy! die and the ivy is from a Joanna Sheen die. I used a couple of tickets from the Kraftyhands CD and created the sentiment banner on the computer.
I used a wide satin ribbon to tie a big bow and finished the card with some green gems.
As paper is the traditional gift for a first wedding anniversary I commissioned a very talented local lady to make a folded book for us to give to the happy couple. I made some flowers for the top of the book to match the card but all credit goes to Kelly Hall for this beautiful present that Elisha and Tim loved.
We wish our wonderful daughter and son in law a very happy first wedding anniversary and know that this next year will be even better than their first as we excitedly await the arrival of their baby.
