Crafty Calendar Challenge February

The theme for this month is 'Love and Marriage'.  This month we are sponsored by the fabulous Whimsy Stamps and the lucky winner will receive 5 digi stamps of their choice.  Here is my card:

I was asked to make a card to celebrate a couples golden wedding anniversary.  I made an 8 x 8 easel card and matted it with some paper from Joanna Sheen's elegant fans cd-rom. I decoupaged the photograph.  The heart border was made using a Martha Stewart deep edge punch.  For the stopper I used a card embroidery pattern and added some pearls.  The sentiment was stamped using Dimension alphabet stamps.  I created the floral embellishment using mulberry roses from my stash.

I also made a box for the card:
