Well We Made It!

Well we made it with no thanks to my Mum who gave us 6 months!  It is our Golden Wedding Anniversary today and the weather is more or less the same as it was 50 yrs ago.  Sunshine, Torrential Rain, Wind and Fork Lightning was the weather we experienced  on our wedding day. Today so far we have had the sunshine the wind and rain with lightning also  forecast for our area. 
Here is the card I made for The Doc which he has now opened so I can show here.
 


Papers used are green leaf by Tonic and a green metallic by Dovecraft layered onto gold cardstock   The fancy die cut elements are from Hunkydory and I have used loads of gold stickers to decorate the front  and inside of the card and the envelope too. The Stamped image is a really old stamp company which I heat embossed with Wow gold embossing powder. 


The window cleaner was due to come today but he has just  text'd  The Doc to say that the weather is too iffy  even for him!!

Off now to open a bottle of champagne which our daughter has sent us in the post to drink today.

Hugs
and continue to keep yourselves safe.

A super card, a fabulous design - huge congratulations on your Golden Wedding Anniversary.
You sound like us, many said we wouldn't last (not my parents though) we have now made 26 years, not as good as you but I have no doubt we will get there.

Congratulations to you both, it's quite an achievement this day and age, my MIL rather like your Mum said it would never last (I was only 17 at the time mine you) but like you proved her wrong, as we've passed the milestone as well.

Hi Mr and Mrs A,
Congratulations on your 50th Wedding Anniversary.
I can imagine your weather on that day as it was the same for my Granddaughter on her wedding day 9 years ago in July.
It poured down with rain and very cold and not like July at all.
It suddenly cleard up in the evening though for some photos.

I love your wonderful card and the very sweet image is so lovely.
Great colours used and brilliant shaped aperture.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.

Happy Golden Anniversary to you and The Doc, Anne! Your card for him is stunning and romantic. I think it's rather cool that the weather is the same as it was 50 years ago and I love that you are celebrating each other with champagne! We did the same for our 50th in January cuz we sure couldn't go anywhere to celebrate. It's a good thing we still like our mates, isn't it? I've been thinking of you. Hugs, Darnell
