Happy Anniversary.....

 Hi there everybody,

I have designed an anniversary card this afternoon as I have a few anniversaries coming up next month, so I am well prepared. I haven't used a main stamp on this card but a wreath that I made myself with some thick craft wire.

Close up...

I have also added a picture of some close weave Burlap I have used on the card.

I have used a 7"x7" White card and matted it with some floral paper, leaving a narrow border around the edge. I wound some craft wire around twice, approx. 9.5cm diameter and wrapped it with cream string, tying the end into a bow at the top of the circle. Attach to the card in the centre with glue. Add a matching patterned die-cut circle in the centre, then slightly smaller one with the Burlap and then again with a smaller patterned die-cut circle stamped with the greeting. (With Love). I die-cut a tag shape in patterned paper and added the anniversary greeting. Make a hole at the start of the tag and add a small piece of string tied in a knot. Add to the card towards bottom left with foam pads. I made 2 Roses using patterned paper and the Burlap. To make the Roses cut out a circle about 5cm across. Cut around the circle approx. 1cm inside like a spiral but don't cut right into the centre. I have added a diagram below.

You eventually wrap it round from the start. I have folded over the outer edges as in diagram 2. Tightly together gluing as you go and  glue to the bottom of the circle that you did not cut. Takes a bit of practice. I made a Rose from patterned paper and the Burlap and added them to the card as in the picture. Add a few punched out leaves, corners to the top, and add a couple of folded Burlap strips to the corners. The wreath is a good idea for Christmas cards too.
