ANNIVERSARY CARD FOR A FRIEND

My friend, Lynette and her husband celebrated their Anniversary this past Tuesday and this is the card I sent them.  I'm sorry to say I didn't get it made until the day of their Anniversary and mailed the following day.

The card base was run through the Cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots embossing folder.  I then took the scrap of black and white paper and attached it to the left side of the card.  I liked the dotted paper with the embossing folder design.  I also had a scrap piece of black paper so I cut the one edge of it with a Spellbinders Classic Scalloped Oval.   

I stamped the design with Black Memento ink and then colored small portions with a red Copic CIAO marker.  The Hero Arts stamp "Heart Owls" is available and I can get it for you.  The design layer and the red layer were both cut with one of the Spellbinders Ovals which were smaller than the one I had used on the black layer.

I still had some of the punched pine pieces.  I ran them through the Xyron and stuck them under the owls so they didn't appear to be "floating".

THANK YOU FOR STOPPING BY!  Hope you will come back again soon.

It's a great card, Vicki, which I know first-hand, since it's sitting on display on my dining room table! We love it!
