Anniversary

I made this card for my aunt and uncle in-law, or are in-laws just for immediate family they may just be considered my husband's aunt and uncle? I'm not sure (still new to what constitutes as an in law). Anyways... this card was made for a very special couple. So special, in fact, that my husband's uncle officiated our wedding. They have been married 25 years, what a blessing! I just wish I could tie bows better (I think this was try #3).





There are a lot of challenges that this card happens to fit, so here they are:
PollyCraft's Fit for a Princess-because every bride is a princess on her day
One Stop Craft Challenge's Patterns
Flutterby-wings and fav color (mine is purple-shown here, and red)
Sentimental Sundays-Switch it up-I have never done a fold open card before
Stampin' Royalty-Create your own background paper-the background behind the couple was created with chalk
Crafty Creations-Wedding/Anniversary
Digital Tuesday-2 Companies, one card-the once upon a time is from DigiSparkle and the couple is from Sliekje
Anything Goes-Folds

Whew! I forgot to mention that DigiSparkle provided the once upon a time sentiment and Sliekje provided the couple, the other sentiments I typed and printed

Shy Guy

This guy is a shy one when it comes to showing his love. You can find him at Sliekji's Digi Stamps. Simple but elegant, I didn't think he wanted a whole lot of attention or embellishments.


Although Shy, I'm entering him in this challenge-PollyCraft's Fit For A Princess (because he is)

For My Princess

Look how cute this little guy is! Sliekje may not speak my language, but her artwork speaks to my heart. She puts out freebies that are adorable often-my kind of artist! This little guy sits awaiting for the princess in his life, so he can deliver a special gift to her. The neat thing about Sliekje, is that she loves kittens, and there is almost always one in her work!

I also did a couple things I have never done before: 1. acented a character with an irregular shape 2. used both sides of a double sided paper in one card 3. cut out part of a background to use as an accent (butterfly); and seldom do I allow anything to hand off the edge of the card (but I do on occasion).
