Happy Bank Holiday Monday to all my UK friends…..yayyyyy! Can’t believe this is the last one now till Christmas.
Here is a card that is a little different again to the norm…………no image, must be a first for me LOL. This card was a commission that my MIL wanted me to d0 for some special friends. Now normally I shy away from commissions, because I never know what to do and always worry that is not going to be to the recipients taste {the reason being I had a card given back to me once as the lady who ordered didn’t like it LOL, so since then it is very rare that you see me doing commissions, my MIL and Mum are about the only people that I do them for LOL} Anyway, the brief for this was a 40th Wedding Anniversary, that was it LOL, so after searching my stamp collection I could not find anything subtle as most of my stuff is cute and they don’t do cute LOL. I therefore thought that I would just find a nice verse and make that the focal point and just add a few flowers. Well I was well chuffed with the results, plus it was quick and easy and my MIL was over the moon, sounds perfect all round to me LOL.
I am entering this card in the Allsorts Challenge, which is not stamped images or sentiments, computer generated stuff only.......oooh how perfick is that! Can't believe I have found a challenge to fit this card LOL.
Here is a close up of the verse that I found, I did tweak it a bit here and there and changed a few words. Feel free to use it peeps, I think it can be used for any anniversary once you have changed it a bit.
Close up of the flowers, all Glimmered and Glamoured!
……and finally the inside! Aren't these papers just gorgeous, they are by K&co and I just adore the richness of them……mmm delish!
Anyway that’s all from me today, enjoy your Bank Holiday for those that have one today! Thanks for stopping by!
You will be pleased to know that so far the hound has not pulled me over in the sand or the sea for that matter, but I will not count my chickens too soon LOL.
Much love!

Beautiful Tab and wonderful font and sentiment. They will love this. Who wouldn't?!!! Now can you put this into a regular envelope? or a thin box. I wondered about those pretty flowers fitting into an envelope. I just love them! Hugs, Dena
Stunning card Tab - you do 'no image' cards incredibly well, lol! The colours and papers are fab and all your flowers around that beautiful verse are gorgeous! They're gonna love it!

This is a SPECTACULAR CARD! No wonder your MIL was thrilled! I certainly hope tha happy "anniversary couple" put this on display forever! I know I would. I would get some kind of "shadow box" ( I think that is what they call them) and put it on display so I could see it everyday! What a BEAUTY!!!
Really beautiful card Tab...and a stunning inside. I'm sure they were delighted with it.
The large flowers are wonderful...do you sell them?
Have a great day.

Oh Tab...this is lovely and you must have been making a card for a Mad Woman if she didn't like it and gave it back to you. Most bloggers would kill to have one of your cards! I have been doing commissions for years and never come across that! You were just very unlucky! Out of interest what do you do with all your cards?..I bet you would sell loads on here!
Tab, this card is amazingly beautiful! You are so talented! I don't know who the person was that didn't like your work, but they sure must not have had any taste!!! LOL! You're amazing! hugs!
Gorgeous card Tab, Im sure she will love it. The flowers look absolutely beautiful.
