Love

My in-laws celebrated there 47th wedding anniversary this week!!  This is the card I made for them:
Even though it wasn't quite fall on their anniversary, I went with a fall-themed card; it's close enough!  The card base is embossed with acorns (so cute!!).  I won the base as part of a prize several years ago, so I don't know what the name of the embossing folder is, but it is really cute!  Then I chose some fall patterned papers from a fall themed paper pack (all the patterned pieces were cut from scraps) to create the center panel and to stamp the hearts on.  I then fussy cut the hearts out and added them to the sentiment panel.  This was quite quick and easy as the base was already made, the sketch wasn't fussy and I didn't have to color anything!  I finished everything off with some small orange and yellow rhinestones.

Supplies:
Stamps: Verve "Text Objects" sentiment and hearts

Challenges:
Cards Galore #114--anything goes
Try Stampin' on Tuesday #624--sketch with the optional twist: all things fall

Snippets Playground #463--anything goes with snippets (all my patterned papers were cut from scraps and the hearts were stamped on little square scraps.  Even the sentiment panel was cut from an off cut)
