We're making anniversary cards over at Just Add Ink this week. Chantell gave us this challenge.
I got myself all in a muddle this week. I had lots of ideas and not one of them was working for me. So I ended up with this super CAS card - I didn't want to go for pinks and reds as I had my husband in mind when putting my card together. Less is more for that man.
Using the Bold Stripes Cover Ups die from MFT I created black and white stripes with Thick Whisper White c/s and Basic Black c/s. I die cut my sentiment three times, so the silver foil is layered on top of two black layers. It gives a nice contrast in person, but not as easy to see in the pic. I added a few of the cute little sequins from the new Mini Trim as a finishing touch. I did carry the black and white through to the inside of my card with layers, and stamped 'happy anniversary' and added some little red love hearts. Then I called it done!
I did get the new Planner though! Oh my!!! I love it and cracked it open immediately. It's already ruling my life. Seriously, check it out when you get the opportunity.
Exam time is almost upon the two teens in our house. Then nearly four whole weeks of school holidays. Our youngest is off at a special Principal's lunch today because he's been working hard with his reading and writing and doing a super job. His twin sister doesn't understand why she isn't invited too ;)
That's about it from my part of the world. We're still enjoying lovely sunny days, but the temps have dropped significantly. It's been freezing in Canberra. Long weekend ahead for us - Gorgeous Kid is off to the Coast with his mates, the twins are visiting their grandparents and hubby is off camping in the Victorian High Country. I can see lots of crafting in my near future. Yay!
Have an awesome weekend.

This is definitely a perfect balance of less is more for a bloke P. I love the boldness of the stripes and the sheen of the silver sentiment! xxx
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous P! Your black and white stripes are so striking and the arrow details on your offset "love" and touch of red are gorgeous! Hope you can catch a quiet moment to play with your new toys soon. So looking forward to see what you create with them! xx
