The very best stories

Happy Wednesday!!  It's time for another challenge from The House That Stamps.  This week is a fun one: Outdoor Fun (any outdoor activity).

And here is the card I created:
I created this sweet little card as an anniversary card for my in-laws--45 years!!  I started by stamping and coloring the birdbath and two little birdies.  Then I added the grass and stamped the sentiment.  It still needed something, so I decided to stencil some hearts in the background.  I was using a light gray ink, but I guess when I used the stencil the last time I forgot to clean it off.  There was some red/pink ink still on the stencil and it transferred to the card base.  Oops, but no one needs to know that it wasn't supposed to be that way!  Then I die cut a little red heart and adhered it between the two lovebirds.

Thanks for stopping by!  Make sure you head on over to The House blog to see what the rest of the Design Team has done with this challenge.  And if you "need" any of the stamps I used, check out my 10% off your entire order coupon code over in my lift sidebar.
