Hello lovely people,
I've had a weekend packed with celebrations; firstly my parents' 40th wedding anniversary and then my sister-in-law's 40th birthday.
I decided to take the plunge and make an exploding box card for my parents' anniversary card so here's what it looks like from the outside...
I kept the outside fairly simple and used several different flowers to make a little 'bouquet' on the top.
Since 40 years is ruby I wanted to use some red in the design...now, that is a colour that I have very little of in my paper collection!
I made the most of a small leftover piece of gorgeous Maja Design heart paper and scrounged together a few scraps of plain red - just enough for the heart centrepiece and a few heart stems!
The heart centrepiece is made from strips of paper and is held in place with a rather large blob of glue, which I hid with a whole heap of flowers!
The little heart stems are a real favourite die of mine and I think they look so cute 'tied' with a twine bow.
