Anniversary Card

Today my husband and I celebrate our 30th Wedding Anniversary which is Pearl.  Now, I don’t think pearls are very manly – so how could I incorporate them into a card for my big burly man ………?
Pearl fish
Well, I turned them into little fish …… because one of  Andy’s many hobbies is keeping them!

The eyes are the nail decorations I got from Poundland last week, they are just the right size, the silver bubbles are also nail heads from Rhinestones Online, the translucent micro glitter is Dazzling Diamonds from Stampin’ Up and the doodling is all mine!
As for gifts – I gave him four hermit crabs for his fish tank and he gave me a new camera.  The macro setting for close up photos is so good, I couldn’t use them, as the fish close up were disgusting, covered in stray bits of glitter, dried glue and fingerprints!

    Awww! Happy Anniversary Helen, enjoy your celebrations. Macro lenses are very unforgiving aren't they? Luckily we don't see as well as they do in real life! lol. qwiksave x

    Tra-la-laaaa! Happy Anniversary! :)
    Wow... 30 years - how wonderful - I'm just coming up to 16 with my other half :)
    Beautiful card - it's really so sweet how you thought of how to incorporate pearls into this card - and what great gifts you gave to each other!
    Here's hoping you have at least another 30 happy years ahead of you

Thank you for wanting to leave a comment. I HATE verification and apologise for the extra bother it causes, however, if I don't have it I get all sorts of dubious spam added and the comments would be bogged down utter ***p!

Occasionally I get comments on posts from several years ago, again, I have to apologise, copies of TEMPLATES etc. that I once offered are now NO LONGER AVAILABLE, when my last computer died, I lost everything and decided not to replace any them.
