Forever Friends - Congratulations

Don't you just love it when one of your lovely family members rush in and say 'have you got a card for .............'. This card is the result of just such an occasion. My daughter's off to a wedding reception tonight and sprung it on me just before she went off to watch Birmingham play Sunderland that she needed a card. I'm really flattered that they think my cards are good enough to send to their friends, but a bit of notice would be nice!!!

Anyway, the clean and simple look had to be choice for this card. The card base is a nice pearlised texture so I matted a piece of ivory/gold coloured card which has been through the Wizard in a Cuttlebug Heart folder on top. I was lucky to have a piece of ribbon in my stash that matched (it's beautiful ribbon from Anna Griffin). The stamp is from the Do-craft range of Forever Friends stamps, which has been coloured with Prisma pencils.

Have a good weekend everyone.X
