Diamond wedding card

Hi everybody, why is it when i get asked to make a card do i spend so much thinking time about what the recipient will like and disregard each idea i come up with until its ..."right i must get this card done"  as i am running out of time!
I was asked by my MIL to make a "Diamond Wedding Anniversary" card for my sis-in-law's parents and after thinking all week.."what am i going to do....what am i going to do"  i set too last night and came up with a beautiful card which i am proud of and didn't really want to hand over ..lol !  Well i'll let you judge for yourself so here it is.

I used a computer generated message and just a simple band across the middle with some really elegant paper on top of a band of silver mirri card punched along the edge with a Friskers edge punch ... it's a shame you can't see the paper to its full effect as its silver embossed!  I added a ribbon with a diamante brad in the centre and some up above.




Hope you also like it ... i would love to know what you think.   
ps... ribbon is cut better than it looks on the pic !!

Thanks for looking

  2. This looks like a very interesting card - would have liked to see it as you can't get a true feel for the card/papers used from a picture. You've succeeded again even if it is at the last minute!
