This is a card I made for three different challenges. With so little time for stamping these days, I combined them all in one card.
First, this is for the Thursday Card Challenge at Mothers and Daughters Creations which this week was an inspiration challenge - to be inspired by the gorgeous bedding ensemble seen here: http://mdcchallenges.blogspot.com/20...spiration.html
Finally, this is for the Saturday challenge over at Our Creative Corner where this week, Julee challenged us to make a lovey-dovey/anniversary card or project: http://ourcreativecorner6.blogspot.c...challenge.html
I was inspired by the colors and design of the bedroom set. Since this will be an anniversary card for my DH, I tried not to get too girly with the design. I stamped the sentiment onto the pretty Anna Griffin DP and embossed with Gold EP. I added some antique brass brads and a ribbon bow. That part might be a bit feminine, but he'll understand! It's very simple, but I hope he likes it!
Thanks for all the inspiration and for the fun challenges! Happy Anniversary, Julee!
TFL!
