7 year hitch?

Hello there friends and a special welcome to my new followers - nice to have you along.  We've had another lovely warm day here in the north east of the UK and it still feels very much like summer.  Its my youngest son and DIL's 7th wedding anniversary at the weekend and I wanted to make them a nice simple card.

The lovely stamp is from Flonz and I added the butterfly because its a little family joke.  Their wedding nearly didn't happen at all because the bride was (and still is) petrified of butterflies and just as she was heading towards the room where we were all gathered, my son noticed a big butterfly fluttering about.  He told his older brother that Nicola wouldn't come in the room if she saw it so with a magnificent leap, the butterfly was caught and released out of the window seconds before she arrived.  Phew!  We still laugh about it and I always make sure there is one little butterfly on their anniversary cards. 

Hope you are all looking forward to the weekend and enjoying some nice weather too.  Margie x

I'm entering this in the Clean & Simple challenge over at Fashionable Stamping Challenge.

    Your card is beautiful Margie, very CAS and as Jenny already said, very elegant. I love the story of the butterfly too, I adore butterflies but can totally understand Nicola's fear. Hugs, Anne x
