I just love this sentiment from Verve Stamps. It makes me smile - and it truly sums up my love for DH of 33 years. Kinda mushy, huh??? Yea... : ) gotta love it! This is the card I'll be giving to him for Valentine's Day. Hmmm...I'm thinking now, that he might not appreciate all of that lace. Well. I didn't think about that until just now. Too late. It's staying put.
Anyway - on to the card.
When I saw the inspiration photo over at The Play Date Cafe (Challenge #62), I had to play along. I am not a fan of the color pink, usually. BUT, these shades of pink and rose...along with the neutrals are just beautiful. I was inspired! Here is the photo that I'm talking about:
Here's my card. I'm so pleased with this card! I started out in a slightly different direction (which wasn't quite working.) Once I changed out a couple of things...everything fell into place. Love when that happens.
Thanks so much for stopping in to take a look. Let me know what you think!
