I don't make many anniversary cards but when I do make them, I find it hard to come up with a design that works. My family isn't one for hearts and flowers so I try to choose either humorous or nature inspired designs for them. January is my son and his wife's anniversary, and they went to a Mexican resort for their honeymoon, four years ago. They liked it so much, that they went again last year. A tropical design seemed perfect for their card, and I used a stencil by Faber-Castell, along with an image by Janie's Originals that I colored and fussy cut . The sentiment is by Close to My Heart, and the yellow border along the bottom was masked and sponged. I try to keep a stash of stenciled and inked backgrounds on hand so I can just grab one and craft as the mood hits. Glad I did this time, because I didn't feel like pulling out all the inks and getting messy!
