Last orders!!

for commissions that is , with the exception of christmas cards!
I dont know about you, but no matter how early I start my christmas cards, I always seem to get 'caught out' at the last minute and rushing - last year I even bought a few for the people I'd overlooked!!
 double gatefold anniversary card (closed position)

Well this year I decided to close my order book early for this year and have already made a couple of Yule cards for myself. But here is my last non crimbo commissioned card for 2012 - a double gatefold anniversary card. maybe flambuoyant and some may even think OTT but the old gentlemen who ordered this card likes 'em that way lol.

 In the open position

2 8" x 8" scalloped edged cards with sides folded back to create the double gatefold. Gold & white swirly card (Hunky dory) from stash layered with gold mirror card. The flourishes were made using a Cheery Lynn cutting die, the circles were made by using spellbinders cutting dies. Flowers are by Prima bought from Crafters Companion website (only £2 per pack)
Some maribou feathers, faux pearls and a couple of applique butterflies finish it off. I would welcome all comments or criticisms - hope you like it.

Thank you for stopping by. xxxx
