I wasn't happy with the card I previously made for my in-laws' anniversary, and there was just something about this sketch that screamed "Anniversary Birds" to me. So, TA DA!!! Here is my card.
I would have liked to show off more of the pretty birdies, but I didn't feel like getting my Wizard out, so I used my Marvy Uchida punches instead, and not all of the birdie bodies fit. It still looks pretty focusing on their kissing right? The sentiment was embossing with black EP on some Real Red DP. A 5/8" velvet ribbon #I LOOOOOOVE velvet ribbon!# demarcates the DP from the solid white paper and I also used a sheer red ribbon with satin edges to the left of the image, secured by a heart shaped silver brad that my friend Barbie50 sent me #thanks Barbie!#. So, what do you think? I hope my in-laws like it.
Thank you for taking the time to look at my card.

Adorable! Love the red, black, and white and I think the heart brads actually end up looking like each birdie's tail, since the image was cut off-you meant to do that, right? ;) I'm sure your in-laws will love this card!
