I hope you've had a good week. I've had a lot to make me smile this week.
It began last weekend when we went to the Golden Wedding celebration of some very special friends. This is the card I made for them.
We went out to a local watering hole on Tuesday as usual where we meet up with friends for lunch.
Then my new toy arrived. I decided to get a Big Shot Plus after thinking about it for a while.
I no longer needed the Grand Calibur so gave it to a friend yesterday. When she came round to collect it so we enjoyed a good chat a coffee and just a little crafty playtime.
I'm linking up with A Stitch In Time blog where Annie invites us all to share a smile on Friday.

Oh! That is stunning! Is that what they call pergamino? I've seen it in Holland where it was very popular at one time. That's an awful lot of work! So beautiful! Well done. I'm sure the happy couple will have been delighted.
Have a great week,
Thanks for visiting earlier,

Another absolutely fabulous parchment golden anniversary card Barb. I love all the detail on the flowers and leaves and the colouring is stunning! So much painstaking work and something for this special friend to keep forever. x
Hi Barb, what a beautiful card, love your design and colours.
lucky you having a Big Shot plus, I would have had one but they came out not long after bought me a Xcut one last year for Christmas. I have a small Big Shot and love it still but I wanted a machine to take larger folders, but the Xcut is good too, Kate x
What a beautiful card....thanks for sharing it with us.
Have a great week.

Wow! This is so pretty with the parchment. I love the delicate lacy look it gives. Hugs Mrs A.
Gorgeous Barb! I played with Pergamino a while back and have a bit of an understanding of the work that went into this without tearing the paper (I was really good at that). Amazing and so perfectly executed.
A beautiful keepsake for your friends on their anniversary it is a wonderful card with lots of interest, texture and detail
Beautiful card. Hope you enjoy your new machine. Angela x
