Happy Anniversary for Mom & Dad

I really should have worked on my Dad's birthday card today since his birthday is on the 13th and their anniversary is on the 17th but I've had this layout in my head since New Years eve and when I came up with my papers, it really wasn't a man themed choice. The papers used were different that the usual. The pink came from a glittered sheet that I picked up at Target and the pressed flowers paper is from a hand pressed paper pack that I picked up at Costco about 3 years ago. The flower is stamped from a Martha Stewart set that I think is called fine and dandy. It's a 2 step stamp set. We'll also be using this layout at our next card club but with a different sentiment. Thanks for stopping by.

Anniversary card

There was no real reason for making this card except that I wanted to use some of my new paper that I picked up today by DCWV. I also wanted to use these owls that I bought on Ebay months ago (don't know who they are by). I stamped and embossed them on watercolor paper then watercolored them in. I used the martha Stewart doiley border punch on the right. Added some faux stitching with a white gel pen and wrapped a ribbon. The sentiment again is by Paper Trey ink's Mega Mixed Messages. I love the way it came out and it's going into the Etsy store soon.
