I have a friend who has asked me to make a card for her pastor who will be having his 40th anniversary on April 11.
I had a hard time picking out the recipe for this. I don't make cards for men very often as our family is primarily female. I have two nephews but that's it. I wasn't sure if Happy Anniversary is the appropriate sentiment (even though it is an anniversary). Anyway I wanted this to be religious in nature. So along with the sentiment on front I have added a scripture on the inside.
The flourishes die I have had for a long time. I think it was my first one. I wanted it to be of some substance so I cut out several and glued them together then covered with Glossy Accents to make them shiny.
I hope she is happy with it. Otherwise I'll be back with a different card for him.
Card recipe:
Paper - Core 'dinations
Die & stamps - Our Daily Bread (set made to go together)
Embossing folder - Darice
Embossing powder - Ranger Super Fine in black
