I made this card a little while ago for a commission, someone referred to me by Linda from Animal Aid. She wanted a 'Pearl Anniversary' card but very pretty. I always think that when we buy or make an anniversary card we aim for the lady more than the man, therefore, pretty and feminine.
I used pearlised card in a slightly off white shade. Marianne LR0236 die for the gorgeous trellis shape and an embellishment from stash (years old, bought in USA).
Marianne flowers LR0106 and Spellbinders Bitty Blossom and I put pearls in the centres. I printed a sentiment on the computer and added ribbon and butterfly. I made a box/ envelope using my Crafters Companion board and decorated it with a homemade crochet heart with a pearl centre.

And sunbathing here on the lovely beach.
This is a beautiful beach and gets extremely busy in July and August. We love going for a walk along here as there is a board walk all the way along.
Fabulous card Wendy. The dies look gorgeous and I love the design.
