Crafting by not a very craft mummy - first anniversary card

I am fortunate to know lots of very creative people. It is inspiring. A few of them have made cards for their friends' first wedding anniversaries - appropriate as traditionally it is paper.

I fancied a go, as some good friends of ours got married last year. I got to be a bridesmaid and Big E was a groomsmen.

Ages ago I'd seen a lovely idea to use the score of the couple's first dance as a backdrop to the card. Our friends' first dance was "Your Song" by Elton John. I searched on Google and found the sheet music! Now...the website seemed legitimate and open access, but I am sorry Elton John if I have downloaded your copy righted material!

Their wedding colour scheme was green.


Step 1: Choose your colours and song sheet. It was easy to fiddle with the print size of the song, so I could make it the right size.


Step 2: Stick the layers together. I just used a standard glue stick.


Step 3: Cut out a little heart shape. I then decorated it with gold pen with their names, but you could just put the date or whatever you fancy.


Step 4: I left it at this stage for ages, but as I was putting in it an envelope, I added their wedding date to the top.


I hope they like it. :)
