Special Anniversary

At As You Like It Challenge this week we want to know whether you prefer florals or ginghams.  For me, ginghams remind me of a school uniform, and I'm not a huge fan of checked patterns, but I do love pretty floral papers, in particular Nitwit collections who seem to be most common in my collection!  

I've made this special anniversary card and personalised it using my Silhouette.  It's a big card, 8" square, and now safely with its recipient.  I had a mini-panic because I had tracking on the postage when I sent it, and it still says its undelivered, so I was upset after all the effort of making it, but they've sent a thank-you card saying how pleased they were to receive it.
