Hello!
It's officially Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada! I love Thanksgiving! I cooked turnips, cranberries and pumpkin pie today! Turkey day tomorrow!!! I can't wait! Fall is my favourite of the seasons! I grew up in Eastern Ontario where the trees are so beautiful at this time of year! It's also the time of year that my husband and I got married...10 years ago! A week today (Friday) is our 10th anniversary! I can't believe it. 10 years have flown by! We have so much to be thankful for this weekend!
I needed to make a card for my husband to commemorate this special day but I find anniversary cards challenging to make! I decided to start with the sketch from Create with Connie and Mary and combine it with the SU-Only Challenge this week (Feel that Texture) and ta-da!
I decided to use the woodgrain embossing folder since I thought it would work best for this particular card! I also embossed the hearts in the same woodgrain embossing folder! I used the Early Espresso and the Cherry Cobbler Core-dinations cardstock so that I could sand it!!!
Our wedding colours were cranberry and gold and I figured this card kinda matched that!
Supplies:
Cardstock: Early Espresso Core'dinations, Cherry Cobbler Core'dinations, Very Vanilla, Champagne Glimmer
DSP: Orchard Harvest, Early Espresso
Stamps: Perfectly Penned, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Ink: Early Espresso
Other: Heart Punch, Heart to Heart Punch, Bitty Banners Framelit, Sanding Block, Dimensionals
Thanks for stopping by today!
Hope you have a fabulous weekend!
Jen
LOVE the "woodsy" feel of this unique anniversary card! I;m sure your husband loved it! Thanks for playing along this week at Create with Connie & Mary!
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful Fall anniversary card. I love the colours and the sanding. I'm "crazy for hearts" so this card definitely grabbed my attention right away.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary to you and your husband -- may you be blessed with many more happy years together.
I grew up in Ontario also and even though I miss Ontario often, this is the time of year I really miss being there. I know how gorgeous the leaves will be right now and so wish I could see them. Nothing compares (in my opinion)-- especially not here in Manitoba;)
Happy Thanksgiving!!
Happy Thanksgiving and happy anniversary! Love all the embossed layers and the sweet hearts! All this talk of turkey and pumpkin pie has got me craving my own Thanksgiving, but I've got another month and a half to go before I get my holiday!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful anniversary card! My husband and I just celebrated ours at the end of September! Love the colors and textures on your card...the torn flags are wonderful, too! Thanks for playing along with the sketch challenge this week on Create with Connie and Mary!
