A beef.....I have been feeling mardy and put off card making and all because I have fallen out with M&S. I went to use a credit voucher and was told it had expired!!! I was not aware that they impose a time limit and have lost the best part of £60. Grrr - I think it absolutely wrong that this is the case - a credit voucher should last forever!
Sooo, I've told M&S to stick it, my custom has been transferred elsewhere.
Am I on my own with this thinking......or maybe it best you don't tell me, you might shoot down in flames, lol
A result...I am happy though that I have, at last, after 3 months managed to get my 82 yr old neighbour a Visa to visit Australia. The new rules decree that everyone over 75 have a health certificate at a cost of £350!!!! Thanks to her sister in Oz, after talks with immigration, (the site is so confusing) it is found she needed a different numbered visa for her trip of under 3 months. What a relief we haven't got to make the trek to Birmingham....yippppeee.
A card....for niece and hubby from her Mum & Dad.
Spellbinders Floral Ovals die - the largest is flat, the other two matted with foam tape.
I printed the sentiment and cut with middle size die then cut around it to fit as another layer.
Memory Box butterfly and Marianne Creatables for the flowers. This is a nice soft gold paper that was left over from the wedding invitations that I made for the couple last year. The wedding colours were green and gold. Must get myself in gear, gotta make two more.
I rubbed metallic gilding wax on the edges of the die cuts - funny stuff this - using fingers is the only way for me. I couldn't get a satisfactory result using a cloth as in the instructions cos it was going all bitty.
Nice effect in the end.

Hi Irene
First of all, I agree with you about the credit voucher! They shouldn't expire. That's a lot of money. I can understand your frustration!
Your anniversary card is gorgeous and very elegant! I'm sure that the young married couple will love receiving this card on their first anniversary!
Thank you for joining us at Fussy and Fancy!
Hugs, Sheryl
Such a gorgeous card and colour combination and I'm in love with these dies (again)
I do agree with you about the gift voucher Irene, I thought they lasted a couple of years at least.
Have you thought about writing or e-mailing the CEO, I believe going to the top often does the trick and you have nothing to lose.

Hi Irene, gorgeous card, I think I need those dies they are so pretty and I love the gilding around the edges. I can only apply it with my fingers too. I totally agree about M&S, thats wrong and i hope you've written a very strong complaint
