From 25 to 50

A customer asked me to make an anniversary card for her brother and sister-in-law for their 25th wedding anniversary, their silver wedding anniversary. She sent me two of photos of the couple on their wedding day and I was asked to copy the pose of the first photo but to show her brother wearing a top hat, as in the second photo. She also requested a few little number 25's dotted around the card, which I of course cut out of silver stock.
My friend Amanda recently turned 50. I made her a papercut card for her big day, cutting her name and age by hand from white stock, and then lining it with a pale blue paper inlay. The card took positively ages to reach its destination but was appreciated when it finally got there!

    I've just returned from a family holiday and am catching up with my favourite blogs. Fantastic cards - I imagine you were worried when the birthday one was delayed - going to all that trouble just to have it go astray in the mail would be heartbreaking! xx

    2 lovely cards, the way you get such a likeness with (seemingly) simple paper cut outs is just amazing.
