This is a card I made for my hubby last month. I don't make cards much, but it sure would've been hard to justify buying one for my anniversary.
I stamped Bo Bunny ledger paper with Tim's flourish and a new PrintWorks hand stamp.
I used the Sizzix Tiny Tags, Heart, and Harlequin border dies, as well as the Script Sizzlits die for the number 18.
I ran the hearts through the Collage texture fade to emboss them, and used lots of Vintage photo distress ink as well as Coffee archival ink.
Added some of Tim's metal Idea-ology and called it done.
Thanks for the visit. Hope you're having a great day!
Marjie
Love this idea for your anniversary!

I first thought: Marjie's husband is 18? Hihi but in time I realised you were talking about your wedding anniversary :-). It's a great card!
Congrats with the 18 years Marjie!
(I had to make a 39 years card 2 months ago)
Greetings, Alie :-)

I agree with Alison's comment above Marjie, you would never find a card as lovely as this out there in card land. The colours are perfect and I love that hand holding the 18. The whole card is beautiful. A x
