My husband and I recently celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary. This is the anniversary card I made for him. As I've mentioned before, he appreciates special card folds and techniques. Last month I discovered this Adapted Tri-Shutter card on Sandy Allnock's blog. I thought this would be perfect for his card. And how appropriate that her blog post went live on what would have been my parents' 69th wedding anniversary! :) Without getting too mushy on you, let's just say that I have a wonderful husband and the quote on the front is very true. As with all marriages, we've had good times and bad, but we're a team and we get thru the rough times together. It's a great understatement to say that I'm very thankful for him.
Sandy designed her adapted tri-shutter to have plenty of room to write a message (the space where my card has the "love you" sentiment). However, since I wanted my husband to be able to display the card without having all the mushy writing visible, I put an extra stamped sentiment in that space. I added a writing panel on the back of the card to write a note to him. All my sentiments were stamped with VersaFine Onyx Black ink and embossed with clear embossing powder. I die cut the various hearts from scraps of the patterned paper. The striped paper is dry embossed with a heart embossing folder. Rock Candy Distress Stickles adds dimension to some of the hearts.
