I used the pearls down one side to represent a light sprinkling of raindrops! added some 3D flowers for added dimension (and you have to have cute flowers in Spring!).

Love this digital kit called Vintage Couple which is available here.

Anniversary Card & Tuesday Trigger

Today is our Wedding Anniversary.  My DH and I are married 12 years - where does the time go?  The above shot of the "lippy" is from O Magazine and is the Tuesday Trigger this week over on Moxie Fab World.  Here is my card inspired by the photo.

I made this card using the wonderful Digital Kit by Jen Martakis called "Watercolours".  I added some machine stitching, glossy accents and a computer generated sentiment - flemish script font.  The glossy hearts are meant to represent the shine from the lipsticks!.

Today is also the day that Hero Arts starts hosting their Virtual Cardmaking party (10-12 Sept) as Operation Write Home celebrates it's Birthday. 

Be sure to check out the details here. Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day and great weekend.

Happy Anniversary!

The symbol for 45 years of marriage is sapphire.  I found the nearest thing in colour in a Bazzill dotted swiss cardstock and added a handmade fimo button in the shape of a heart!.  The colour looks wonky in this photo but I can't retake as I have already given the card to my parents who celebrate their 45th Wedding Anniversary tomorrow.

I added cream flowers from prima and Hero Arts, Pearls and cream brads.  I would have preferred the chipboard numbers to be a different colour but simply didn't have time to change them... made this in a severe hurry!!!  Not necessarily as I would have wanted ... anyhow

Happy Anniversary to two wonderful parents.  Hope you have a great day.  Thanks so much for stopping by.

Happy Anniversary

My Mom wanted an Anniversary card for my youngest brother and his wife - so I made this for her.  I had the image coloured before she requested the card and I just thought it was perfect ... It is an image from Precious Moments.  I coloured it with copics and used my Spellbinders Labels Eight to cut and emboss the cardstock.  Hero Arts flowers, Papermania pearls and a heart that I dry embossed to match the heart lollipops.

Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy Anniversary to my little Brother and SIL.
