Fast Cars

I thought you might like to see this relatively plain and simple card

I was asked - short notice - to make a card for a 39th wedding anniversary

The guy who was to receive the card has interest in just 2 things....

FAST CARS or MOTORBIKES

So she wanted either of those but with the sloppiest verse going....

So after hours of searching I came across a sheet that I have bought from www.craftsuprint.com many many months ago

This is the finished card - the only thing that in my opinion made it special was the personalised tag which I did in Picasa

So to make my card I used a sheet of navy blue card stock, folded to make an A5 card blank - I added a piece of silver mirri card which left a narrow border of the card blank.

The base image was centralised onto the silver mirri board then I added the easy to cut out decoupage layers and built them using double sided sticky pads

The printed sentiment was then matted onto a piece of silver mirri card then mounted on pads at the top right of the card.

To finish I used glossy accents on the lights, the bumper lights and the needle on the speedo .

Black enamel accents were used to dot the centre of the wheels and the card was put to a side to dry!

This is the verse I added to finish the card!!!

As each anniversary comes around

it amazes me to say

I didn't think it possible, but

I love you more each passing day!

On that date 39 years ago

I married my soul mate

Which is why I'm always delighted

to celebrate this date!

Of course you have your little irritations

and I'm sure I have a few

No-one is perfect

but for me, you'll definitely do!

Life has had its ups and downs

we have had our share

But as always we will face them

together as a pair!

So on this special day

the day we made our vows

I promise you my darling

from me you'll face no rows!

On the contrary

you'll face only my love...

Happy Anniversary
