Wedding Anniversary Card

Today I would like to share a Wedding Anniversary card with you,
which I recently made for friends of ours.

I "cased" the card from one my sister made for us last year for our anniversary. 

She recently lent me the Clearly Besotted stamp and die set to try out, 

and here is my first card using them both. 

Needless to say, I couldn't resist and have since bought the set here where they
stock some fabulous stamps and dies.
The image stamps so clearly and I love how the die leaves a
nice edge around the image.

The items I have used are:-

Clearly Besotted Stamp and Die set - Fairytale Ending

Crafter's Companion - Sara Signature Love and Romance
Collection Embossing Folder - Heart Trellis

Spellbinders Nestabilities - Classic Hearts

Sentiment - Brittania word dies

I am entering this card into the following challenges:-
Pixie's Snippets Playground - Anything Goes
Suzy Bee's Challenge - Anything Goes with a twist/Clean and Simple
Brown Sugar - Anything Goes
Di's Digi Designs - Embossing
Simply Create Too - Purple and Green
