The Sweetest Couple

 Hello everyone! 

I wanted to pop in today and share the anniversary card that I made for my wonderful In-laws!It features a cute image out of the 'Homemade' stamp set from Penny Black... the little foot prints are also out of the same stamp set :) It's colored with Copics and the sentiment is from Jaded Blossom. The dotted paper is from Graphic 45 and the script paper is from MME. I used Penny Black dies for the stitched rectangles and the flowers were created with a MFT die and a misc. stitched die.

That's it for today- thanks so much for stopping by and for the comments you leave!

 Hello everyone! 

Today I'm sharing a 'love' card that features a cute image from Whipper Snapper...It's colored with Copics, cut out with a CottageCutz die and I added a few highlights with a white Posca Pen. I used a Paper Smooches die for the large 'Love' sentiment, SSS dies for the hearts and the background was created awhile ago using the 'nail polish' technique. I really like how this card turned out because I used some of my favorite colors and it was very easy to put together because the background panel was already done- just waiting to be used! :)

Well- that's all for now... thanks so much for stopping by!

Take care, Tammy
