I have a golden wedding anniversary card to share today. I picked an image from the 'Cheering Critters' set by Penny Black of a cute cat and dog clinking their glasses of bubbly, stamping them on to watercolour paper, colouring them using watercolour pencils, before carefully cutting them out. For the background, I used several embossing folders (Cuttlebug 'Swiss Dots' and 'D'Vine Swirls' and a 'Hearts' one from Sizzix), embossing various snippets of cream coloured linen card, and matting those on to snippets of gold mirror card. I added a Lili of the Valley sentiment...heat embossed in gold, and a '50' cut using my Cuttlebug 'Olivia' alphabet dies using yet more snippets.
