A Card for {45 Years}!

So, do you remember the tin I created just a week or so ago for my mother?  Well, I decided to give it to my parents today for their 45th wedding anniversary!  Well, of course I had to have a card to go along with it.  So, this morning before we left for our big day, I created this card.

First, I gathered my supplies.  I knew I would use the same papers that I did for the tin--the beautiful Memory Box Dewfrost paper.  Then I wanted to use the new Memory Box Advent Calendar {CL143} clear stamp set so that I could put the number of years they have been married on the card.  I also added some miscellaneous lace that was sitting on my desk.
 

Then I trimmed the papers, inked the edges in a bit of Palette ink, and then I attached them to a Memory Box opal notecard.
 

Next, I stamped "45" on a light piece of Dewfrost paper.  After stamping, I ran the paper through my printer to add the word "years."
 

To finish, I attached the lace, a metal photo corner, and the sentiment.  I used my Nestabilities to cut out the sentiment and then added two brads to match the photo corner.
 
 

And here is how the card looks with the tin:
 
Papers:  Memory Box Dewfrost, Memory Box opal notecard
Stamp Ink:  Palette ink
Embellishments: We R Memory Keepers metal photo corner and brads, misc. lace, Nestabilities label die

Simple and quick, and it was a hit with Mom and Dad!  I hope you enjoyed today's quick card.  Have a great Thursday evening, and I will be back soon with another Memory Box creation!
