Oh, and a footnote to the card with 40 candles shown in my last post - it was very well received, and greatly admired!

Golden weddings
No, not ours - though we're working on it! Friends are celebrating 50 years of marriage tomorrow and this is the card I made for them.
The base card is a deep cream, cut to the shape of a book and covered with handmade Indian paper. The stamped roses are from my well loved PSX collection, embossed in gold then layered on matt gold, and the whole trimmed with gold peel offs.
Other friends are also celebrating their Golden Wedding next Monday; their card is in the post heading for Spain. I showed it when I made it some time back but thought it would be nice to include it again, since it uses exactly the same materials but has quite a different look. There's another to be made for next month and one for next February, plus a Ruby wedding in September, so maybe it's time to find a different theme.
