Anniversary card for him

Pin It Now! My husband & I celebrated our wedding anniversary yesterday ~ 14 years! It sure doesn't feel like that much time has passed already, that is until you look at the pictures! :) It's amazing just how young we were. He brought me flowers on way home from work & took me out to dinner. When we got home we spent time with the kids before they went to bed & then spent the rest of the evening watching some TV. It was a great day :)
Today I want to share the card I made him. I used neutral colors & the stamp set "Bliss" from SAB (Now retired) . Here it is: 
The base of the card is Crumb Cake with a layer of Early Espresso. I used the Framed Tulips embossing folder & ran it through the Big Shot. Using a sponge I added some color to the frame using Early Espresso ink. On a piece of Very Vanilla card stock I stamped the large image from the set "Bliss" using Crumb Cake ink & inked up "Bliss" with Early Espresso & stamped directly over the image. This piece was layered onto a piece of Crumb Cake & Early Espresso before adhering it to the layer with the frame. The butterfly was stamped using Crumb Cake ink & carefully cut out & put on dimensionals. I took a piece of Very Vanilla card stock & ran it through the Big Shot using the Top Note die & sponged the edges with Crumb Cake ink. I used the "Happy Anniversary" sentiment from the set "Teeny Tiny Wishes" & stamped that using Early Espresso.
I find it a little difficult to make anniversary cards that aren't too frilly or feminine; have to keep the guys happy too ;) My husband really like this one so I'm all set for another year ;)  Hope you enjoyed today's post. Thanks for looking! Have a great day!
