Before and after...

Pink card before

Nothing goes to waste in the You Can Craft office! I salvaged this pink card after issue 10's 'All you need to know about cutting shapes" photo-shoot as I thought it would make the perfect base for a card for my parents, who've just celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary.

All I did to jazz it up a bit was layer up some You Can Craft papers and a sheet of mystery-brand stiffened 'letter' fabric up on the left hand side, with a threaded 'Best Wishes' greeting on top, fixed in place with a scrap of narrow brown ribbon, tied in a bow. As it's their 30th I wanted to include some pearl elements so I stuck three mini pearl beads at the top and fixed the greeting onto a piece of ivory corrugated card, also from a previous You Can Craft kit. What do you think?

You can get the heart punch from Tollit and Harvey stockists.
