Sunday Stampers - Love/Life

Afternoon! This week's challenge from Hels on Sunday Stampers could have been made for me!

Not only is it inspired by a Queen track, but the theme is perfect (more of that in a mo!) I love Queen - I saw them live at Hammersmith on Christmas Eve 1975 with a bunch of school friends - it was in the days when The Old GreyWhistle Test showed a concert live on BBC2 on Christmas Eve - and WE were there - oh BOY where they good. Freddie in all his pomp.... Getting home was fun though cos we missed the last train from London and had to catch a tube to Brixton (the furthest the line goes) and then a couple of us had to ring our dads to rescue us - it's only a few miles but at 1 in the morning of Christmas Day they weren't too impressed!

Anyhow, the theme is perfect this week because I have been needing to make a 60th (diamond) wedding anniversay card for next Saturday for my Godmother who is having a party to which I've been invited.  (keep your fingers crossed for the weather!)

So here is what I did.

An 8x8 inch card - covered with some paper from Tim's shabby chic pad. Daisies sponged in the corner (I love that crafters template!!!) in victorian velvet.  Some Wendy text stamps, a Wendy heart on silver metal, puffed up and made into a tape sandwich, sanded and spritzed with a pinky-reinker mix, a maya road heart chip covered with the same Timmy paper (matte medium came during the week!) Used some Tim numerals and some diamond rhinestones to accent both hearts, and a memo pin filled with glossy accents over a pinky piece of paper.

Here are some close ups (this is while the memo pin was drying so it's not in place yet)

I don't think they follow my blog so I hope I am safe in posting this today.

Oh, and I found this pic of us in my bedroom before we left for the concert (I am the one holding the bottle...)

Sorry its such a bad pic - it looks like a polaroid and was emailed  to me by the girl to my top left when we caught up after years out of touch!
