Congratulations

It's my turn to choose the challenge at One Stop Cards & Crafts this week. As it is the 100th Challenge, I thought that the theme of Congratulations would be quite suitable.
Of course we need congratulations cards for lots of different occasions and I chose to try out my Lilli of the Valley bride and groom stamp for the first time.
A pair of fine tweezers which I ordered from Hong Kong arrived recently. They took a while to get here but as they only cost £1.00 including postage, they were a real bargain... of course I had to try them out. I made the flowers, starting with some Nellie Snellen Punch and emboss punchies.  This type of flower is so bulky, I had to make a box for the card too.The foliage is from a Leonie Em punch and the tag and mount are Spellbinders.
I was just asked to make a card for a couple who have recently left my choir, who had been members for 40 years. Quite an achievement! I'll have to put my thinking cap on for that one.
