Simply Handmade by Heather: Happy Anniversary

Happy Anniversary

Hello. I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. Today my hubby and I are celebrating our 12th Anniversary together. Time sure does fly by so fast. I made this card for him using Flourishes Forest of Trees set. He said this was my best masculine card yet. Whew! He definitely doesn't appreciate all the ribbon and bows I seem to add to every card I make. :)

I did a good bit of sponging on this one. I used Tim Holtz distress inks in Tumbled Glass, Shabby Shutters, Walnut Stain, and Antique Linen mixed with a little Vintage Photo.

Supplies:

Cardstock: PTI/Rustic Cream and Dark Chocolate, Stamper's Select White

DP: MME

Stamps: Flourishes/Forest of Trees

Inks: Tim Holtz distress inks stated above

Dies: SB Classic Squares LG, Lil Inker Banner

Sewing machine: Stitching

Sorry but this one is short and sweet. I am off to make lunch.

Thanks so much for stopping by,

Heather

I love the sponging--especially the green in the tree, and your dp's are perfect for a husband card. Looks like you got your tension worked out on your sewing machine--it looks great here.
