As well as our Wedding Anniversary, hubby also has his birthday in June, so I made this card for him.The background was created using torn paper masks with sponges and a mixture of Adirondack dye and pigment inks. The stamps are all from Clarity Stamp except for the Birthday greeting. I enjoyed playing with my sponges and inks, trying to get a feel the rays of the sun shining down through an early morning mist. However, perhaps the thing I enjoyed most about this card was that for once I seemed to get the matting nice and straight - hubby loves to tease me when my cards are a little squint and this time he couldn't!
Beautiful background. Great card very peaceful. Anesha :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely card Phree, men's cards are so difficult. My hubby is ultra critical too, what is with them! You try extra hard for them too, Judith x
ReplyDeletelovely card Phree - a nice misty feel, colours are great
ReplyDeleteOh Wow, Phree, this is absolutely fantastic. I love every single thing about it.
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not, I bought those stamps (large and small trees and the birds) from Barbara at the Doncaster, Stamp Magic show last Sunday. I hope you don't mind if I have a go at copying this card when I get a chance. I really don't think I'll get it anywhere near as good but if I'm halfway there I'll send you a photo. It really is beautiful!!!!

This is just beautiful Phree. What a lucky hubby you have. It's like a little work of art. I love the way you have got the sun's rays coming down, just perfect.

ReplyDeleteI love your card Phree and this anniversary card is no exception.
You've really done the early morning light justice - well done. And glad hubby couldn't find fault with the matting and layering!
