Like Peas & Carrots

Today is my hubby and I’s 14th wedding anniversary.   This is the card I made for him. 

 

2012-11 Annv card WM

The colors in the photo are slightly darker than real life.  The matting is carob brown, not black as it looks here.    Oh well. 

He says all my cards are the same so I tried to change it up a bit with this card.  I think this is pretty CAS for me.  There is NO SEWING and hardly and DP.   Check out all that white space.   I feel the need to fill it, but I showed some restraint.  :)

If you haven’t seen this stamp set, stop by the Sweet ‘n Sassy store to check it out.  It is just the cutest.

Thank you for stopping by!  Have a great day!

 

Supplies:

  • Stamps:  You & Me (clear stamp set) from Sweet ‘n Sassy
  • Ink:  Close To My Heart Chocolate
  • Papers:  Papertrey white CS, Bazzill Basics carob CS, Echo Park This & That Charming paper pad
  • Tools:  Big Shot, Papertrey Banner Basics die
  • Embellishments:  Copic markers, May Arts burlap twine, misc. buttons
