My mother and father-in-law celebrate 40 years of marriage in July. What makes it even more special is that both have fought serious illnesses in the past and could so easily not even be here. Hubby’s dad had a massive brain haemorrage when he was 37 (25 years ago) and has been left with disabilities. His mum was then diagosed a couple of years later with leukaemia. Both have battled their way back from death’s door more than once and so to be here about to reach 40 years together is nothing short of a miracle.
So to mark the occasion we are having a BIG old party and so invitations are required. I am going to make a few samples for her to chose from and then go in to mass production mode (not looking forward to that part – I NEVER make the same card twice. Anyhoo, it has to be a simple design that can be easily replicated so I have come up with this as my first attempt. All supplies are Papertrey Ink.
I have done a cream version (with Pure Poppy and Enchanted Evening ink) and a white version (with Scarlet Jewel and Enchanted Evening ink). I haven’t put on the “You’re Invited” part yet as I’m waiting for my stamps to arrive!! They’re very CAS, I know but that’s what she likes and to be honest, I’m going to have to make about 70 of these blighters so the more CAS the better!!!!
I will share some more samples as I make them.
Hugs,
Caryn xxx
