Hello there...
Thanks so much for your lovely comments on my Lantern project... I'm working on something similar but today I have a card to share
It just happens to be our wedding anniversary today and this is the card I made for my husband
You may think it's totally un-traditional and it is I suppose - We were married in Cyprus 19 years ago so the watercolour piece represents the sea... We only knew one person living there, a Cypriot friend Andreas who travelled a fare distance to be with us on the day....
It was meant to be a quiet affair, just the 2 of us, with Andreas as a witness together with the travel agent (it was second time around for both of us) but our friend and the people of Cyprus thought differently and we had a huge celebration - even a photographer and florist were roped in.
Andreas lost his only daughter some years before so to him this was like giving his daughter away
He kept insisting that we call our first child after him... I don't think he got the fact that I was 47 at the time and babies were not an option Lol!
Now you know a little more about me Lol!
Till soon

Great to see photos of your wedding in Cyprus Ros, and your outfit was so elegant and pretty, and so is your card. I love the background in the beautiful blues and the hearts, music notes and the gorgeous heat embossed leaf tucked behind, and the perfect sentiment to finish it too. x
Happy anniversary, Ros! I think your card is lovely and perfect in the colors of the Mediterranean. You were a beautiful bride. Funny how young 47 looks these days, and you still look just as gorgeous!
Now there's an interesting wedding tale. LOL Happy anniversary AND happy new year. The card is beautiful. Watercolor and embossing--a win win!
Oh my goodness--what a wonderful post, my friend! The perfect card for your hubby--bet he totally loved it! I immediately began humming that song when I read the sentiment--so great you have the music score element! How fun to hear the story of your wedding & see some pictures! Happy, happy anniversary!
Ros, such a beautiful story and beautiful card :)
What a wonderful story! I love that Andreas wanted you to name your child after him - lol! Such a beautiful card to commemorate a beautiful day! Happy New Year!

Such a beautiful bride and I can understand why Andreas wanted you to have a baby (and name them after him) because you sure didn't look like 47 years old x.......
Happy belated Anniversary Ros and hope you had a lovely day? x
