Happy Anniversary

Our anniversary was a few days ago.  I got a surprise present and a poem (I requested the later) from my hubby.  But I did not get to make a card for DH until last night.  Bad, bad.  He is not a CAS type, so I decided to try something new. I love all the ideas of adding texture to the cards from Moxie Fab World Textured to Perfection and decided to give it a try.

I broke into the sticky back canvas I got awhile ago.  Roses were stamped with VersaMark and heat embossed with detail white embossing powder.  Then I distressed the canvas with Spun sugar, worn lipstick, and wild honey.  I also distressed patterned paper panel and the banner for sentiment with vintage photo.  That was a ton of distress ink for me.  Well, the card was definitely not masculine enough.  But I do like the card and the process of making it, and my DH loved it.


Love the ideas from Moxie Fab World Textured to Perfection and hope to try a different technique before the challenge ends.

Thanks for stopping by.
