LOTV ~Love Grows ~ Anniversary card



This is an Anniversary card requested by my friend Michelle, it's for her parents. I have used a stamp from LOTV called 'Love Grows'. The sketch for my card was inspired by the talented Bev, her work is just amazing. I have coloured the image with promarkers, sakura glaze pens and prisma pencils, and blue chalk for the sky, I then cut the image out with a nellie snellen circle frame and added some cute little hearts. The DP is from Bo Bunny, I got this in the sale for 12p a sheet. I have used my new martha stewart bubble heart punch for the border on the right, I then added some gorgeous gold lace and some satin red ribbon and tied that in a bow. I have added a fancy button and added the chain and charm, you can pick these up on ebay very cheap. The top sentiment comes with the stamp and I have cut this with a heart die from nellie snellen and added some glamour dust around the edge, and coloured in the flowers and added pearls to the centres. The bottom sentiment is also from LOTV.Oh and I have used a marianne die for the fancy corner and i added some stickles to this.
