Silver Weddings

Yesterday I made two Silver Wedding cards - fortunately the recipients live 4,000 miles apart and don't know each other so the cards are almost identical. I used Cuttlebug EF called 'Jules' Jewels' and a Memory Box die butterfly (silver mirri card) to compliment it; the label is a Nestie long deckel edge rectangle also cut in silver mirri card with a plain white centre. With a white organza ribbon with a silver stripe, and simple silver peel offs the card looks far plainer than the actual time taken would imply. The second version (smaller numbers, because I didn't have any more of the others) took far less time, of course, having done all my dithering already. Today what should have been a five minute job making both inserts took an hour, which included searching for a non-existent anniversary stamp, and struggling with self-adhesive labels that weren't and removable tape which also removed the surface of the paper. My next major task will be two Golden Wedding cards, but as the couples are best friends I shall have to come up with completely different designs.
