Amour



On April 8th, my husband & I will be married 37 fabulous years. Every year, I'm running around the night before our anniversary trying to come up with a card for him. Well, my card is done three months early! Woo Hoo!!! Now all I have to do is remember where I put it! *Ü*

 The CTMH New Seasonal Expressions has lots of great new products. And this stamp set, called "Amour" is one of them. 

 I wanted to keep it monochromatic and away from the Valentine colors. Only colors of ink used are Desert Sand and Cocoa. 
Actually, this card could be a Valentine as well as Anniversary or any other reason you may have for giving a card to the one you love.

 I got some new Spellbinder Dies for Christmas and couldn't wait to use them. This stamp set seemed perfect. 

 The beginning inspiration for this card started with the dies and fit in perfect with a sketch challenge from Die Cuttin Divas.

Other Challenges for this card:
Polkadoodles - Image, Sentiment, Die Cuts, more then 2 layers & wet embossing.
Cardz 4 Guys - Vintage
Cuttlebug Mania-It takes Two
Papertake - Anything

    Snap! My husband and I also celebrate our 37th Anniversary this year and just like you I always leave my card until the last minute to make. I think I should take a leaf out of your book.

    Your card is fabulous. I REALLY like your sentiment, it is just perfect, and your new dies are lovely. I hope you have a wonderful anniversary.

    Thank you for joining in all of the fun at Crafty Boots Challenges.

    HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to you both! what a gorgeous card and such a cool combination of elements! thanks for SHOPPING YOUR (new!) STASH with us this week! (ps: i'm really glad not to be the ONLY ONE who would balance the triumph of being early with the fear of not remembering where they put the card; that has made my day, lol!) :) :) :)
