Two 40th wedding Anniversary cards

Hi to everyone who pops in today. Thank you for all your lovely comments on my other cards,i realy do appreciate them.
This one i made for Sam my son's partner too give her mum & dad's on there 40th wedding anniversary With little notice she rang me Friday evening & then asked, but wanted it for Saturday's party.I made her one almost the same for her birthday so wanted one in red as it was a Ruby.
i also made this other card below for them, I did a sentiment on my compactor but when i tried to print my ink had run out so that's why it is missing the sentiment, Sam's Mum was over the moon with them. In the rush I forgot to take a picture so Darren took it for me on Sunday.
so thought i would put them on together. So if you would leave a  comment it would be lovely.

The top card i used 8 x 8 base card
Creative Expressions stamps to die for designed by Sue Wilson Delicate lace
Cut out with Napa valley outer die by S W then cut the largest die from the Decorative frame set B
Then cut the Floral Meadow striplet & some Camellia closed petal,& classic bow both designed by SW.Cut my sentiment out with the fourth  die from the Stockholm set then cut the third die in the set Then just assembled everything together. The flower i made from air dry clay.

The next card i used
8 x 8 card base
Cut two of the classic weaving die one in red one in white.the cut a frame with the first,second,third die in the Classic Adorned rectangles set. Then cut the Delphinus die from the Gemini collection.
Added the frame over the weaving piece  with mountain foam,the Delphinus die down the side added some flowers. All the dies used are  designed by Sue Wilson my hero.

Hope you like my two cards Thank you for stopping by.Hug's Lynda xx
