My dear friends are celebrating their 50th Wedding anniversary this week.  I knew just what I wanted to make.  


I had a very difficult time trying to get a picture of my card.  Whenever I use gold foil, it creates a reflection in every picture.  I am sorry.  

I used a paper pack by My Mind's Eye "Fancy That" for the pink and gold papers.      
I cut the large diamond from gold foil using the My Favorite Things-Diamonds die  and the "forever" was cut using the Reverse Confetti Lovely Words die.  I also cut them from dark brown card stock to mount behind each one for contrast.  I added two gold foil hearts.
