Anniversary "card" as promised

Hi there everyone. As I said earlier; i am back to show the "card" I made for Susan to celebrate our 21st wedding anniversary ..... you'll understand why i used ""
Here it is
I suppose you could say that this is the envelope!
Inside is the card
Which is in fact a small booklet!

I like the way it came out; especially since I was not sure what I was going to do when I began!
Now I just need to write it and wrap the pressie then tidy up the mess I made........

Just in case you want to know; the box is painted in bronze paint, sides are covered in Crafty Individuals Paper and inked in aged mahogony. Gold and copper leaves (Well, plastic metal!) embossed and coloured with Alcohol inks. Burgundy roses and gold chain to finish.
I made the card with colourwash a while ago, accordian folded and cut to size and glued to make the pages. The cover is copper embossed (Plastic) and inked with AI. The metal letters inked too and attached with brads.
Just a bit of random stamping on the pages, some adage sentiments, old book paper (from Wordsworth's poems- an old book I picked up)
I'm sure she'll like it so cheerio for now.
Be blessed

    Neil, that's the most amazing anniversary "card" - I bet she was thrilled. A belated congratulations on your 21st wedding anniversary. We celebrated our 25th in May - if you hop over to my blog you can see what I made my hubby.
