I've been commissioned to create an anniversary card for a couple celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary. I wanted to make something with flowers and the number 40, so here is the outcome:
Because I was using the now-retired Large Number dies, I needed a larger-than-normal card; this one is 5-1/2" x 5-1/2".
The numbers were cut with Night of Navy cardstock and mounted to a circle cut with the Everyday Details dies. Hard to see, but I added lots of Wink of Stella to the numbers and the flower centers for a little extra sparkle.
The Cheerful Daisies dies added a nice bouquet, and I brought the color combination together with a Daffodil Delight band and some retired navy-checked ribbon.
Inside:
I delivered the card yesterday, and the woman who asked me to make it was thrilled. Whew! I always worry about meeting my customer's expectations (or even surpassing them) when I create for others. Do you feel that same way?
