I made two twin cards the other day - one to give my husband for our anniversary, and the other for my Hope You Can Cling To stash of cards. These were created following Beate's "Rays of Hope" challenge to use mostly grey with a bit of another color. I also worked Dynamic Duos color challenge #22 into these card. The layout is one of my favorite sketches from the Operation Write Home Stars & Stamps blog.
For all the chitchat about what went on into creating these, please check out this blog post: twenty mostly dynamic years.
Thank you for taking a closer look at my card! Comments are always read and appreciated.
The embossing folder and the scallop die are the only things keeping this card from being SUO.

Happy, slightly belated, anniversary wishes - I hope you had a lovely celebration. Love your "love" tree, and the embossed background is really gorgeous. I find anniversary cards for my DH hard!!

A year ago when I first saw that embossing technique I colored a bunch of them with OLD markers to use them up and never really found a use for them! I really like your layout and will now use them. I hope your husband liked the card as much as I do! Happy Anniversary! tfs
