Guess what, chickens? Today is our 19th wedding anniversary. Happy anniversary to the hubs, who puts up with a lot from me and still loves me anyway. I made a quick anniversary card to sneak into his car this morning:
Over the past 19 years, the hubs and I have lived in four different states and three different countries (...I think), so this sentiment seemed particularly apt for us. I'll be entering this at the Festive Friday challenge:
Yes, I managed to take a Halloween-inspired challenge and make a non-Halloween card! (Fear not, I'll be back to spooky season shenanigans tomorrow!) For today's card, I included the moon, stars, black, and silhouette. You'll have to squint to see the stars though, they barely show up even in person. I stamped the main silhouette and embossed with shimmery black embossing powder (seriously, why was this available for such a short time, it's awesome), used blending brushes to add the background (our wedding colors were royal blue and royal purple, I decided to go with a more pastel version for this card), and then stamped the stars in the background and embossed with clear embossing powder. I expected the stars to show up a little darker even though they're tiny, but they turned out to be tough to see. So that's when I added the moon.
And book-loving me also loved this stamp from One In a Million, so I had to use it for the inside of the card.
One more picture that shows the sparkle a bit more, and you can see the reflection of the teeny tiny stars if you look closely.
That's it for me today, peeps. Have a great day!
