Wow! It's been a while since I have posted on my blog. It's been awhile since I even created something crafty! I have been helping my my aunt with her tax business and my family with different things while trying to find a balance has been almost impossible. Now I am back to working in the crafty room.
Right now, I need to create an anniversary card for my hubby. On Saturday, April 27, 1991, we will be married 28 years. Here is a picture of us on that wonderful day!
This was after the marriage ceremony. We left the church, released some balloons in the air and then got into Keith's dad Model A car. It was such a wonderful day! Sometimes it seems like just yesterday! It's hard to believe that it's been 28 years, 3 daughters - one married, one engaged and one off to college in the fall. Life moves fast in ups and downs. I am thankful to God for the blessings of this man in my life and the wonderful family I have.
Sometimes it can be hard to create a masculine card when alot of the supplies that are out there are really feminine plus my style is more feminine. So creating this card was a bit of a challenge for me. I probably used the wrong colors for 28 years but I really like how this card turned out!
For this card, I used the Crafter's Companion Gemini embossing folder - Patterned Swirls. I used some silver gilding wax applied with just my finger to highlight the embossing on the black cardstock. I used the Love Stamp and Die set for the sentiments. The love is a die cut that cuts along the top and inside of the letters. I used the Stitch Edge Oval die to cut it the rest of the way out and to cut out the white layer that is underneath. The Matte Silver Luxury Cardstock looks just right for this card, not too flashy! After stamping the sentiment onto white cardstock, I used my scissors to cut the edges. I adhered it all together and will write an appropriately sappy love letter to my sweetie! LOL
If anyone is actually reading this blog and wants some in depth instructions/tutorial on the details of this card, just let me know!
Thanks for stopping by today!
