Anniversary card

This card was made using the sketch from this weeks Sketch n stash challenge.  I had coloured the LOTV image (using Promarkers) a few weeks ago for another challenge, but was not able to finish the card as I went down to be at the hospital with Dad.  It was a suitable shape for the sketch, so I finished it off today and also found that the card could be entered in the LOTV challenge for this week - as I have used ribbon, lace, flowers and gems.  The papers are my usual First Edition ones - from the Sweet Owl and Summer breeze pads, the sentiment stamp is also by LOTV and was punched out and matted unto a Nestabilities scalloped circle.  The brown lace is from Panduro and the pink one is from a little gift shop in Belfast.  The neglected items used, were the pink flowers - I bought them during the summer of 2009 in a little shop beside the docks in Ellesmere Port, when we stopped overnight in a hotel there on our way to Stratford-on-Avon for our holidays.  They came in a little jar with a screw on lid and just looked too nice to use up!!
