WMSC#81:Anniversary #32!

Next week on the most romantic holiday of the year, Feb. 2nd, Groundhog's Day, my husband and I will be celebrating our 32nd wedding anniversary.  So romantic, isn't it?  A couple days later we could have married on Valentines Day, but no, we just had to go for the groundhog.

My husband and I are not a gushy romantic couple.  Our cards to each other tend to be more funny than romantic, so this years card is going to really shock him.  He will never expect a card with cameos and little heart tags all over it.   Here is the sketch by Anya Schrier on which I based my card:

Here's my way out of my comfort zone anniversary card:

I used an ocean tides cardstock base,  My first layer is vintage cream stamped with PTI Background Basic Newsprint.  I stamped WM stamps Off Beat Backgrounds polka dot stamp all over the newsprint.  I think that makes some really pretty patterned paper.  I used a dark chocolate cardstock embossed banner for the mat.  The embossing folder is by Provo Craft and is called Cassie's Brocade.  It is such a pretty damask pattern.  The two cameos (which look nothing like my husband and I by the way) are from WM Cameo Creations.  I stamped them on some patterned papers by My Minds Eye, Lost and Found Portobello road collection.  I stamped it on a fleur de lis Spellbinder diecut and added a few little swirly images from WM Holiday Labels #14.  I added a couple hearts from WM Fancy Phrases.  I notched the sides to hang a little loop of twine and added 5 mini tags stamped with hearts and  tiny sentiments from WM Say It Loud.  The little pins the tags are dangling from are some hooks I originally say on Ashley Cannon Newell's blog.  I think my husband is going to wonder what got into me when he sees this card, but I love it.  Guess there is a romantic side to me still, even after 32 years!
