Word Blocking Anniversary Card using CTMH Feb Word Puzzle, Love Always and Dazzling Diecuts

This is the simple but sweet anniversary card I made for my husband this year to celebrate our many years together.  We met on his 21st birthday when he was already a good sheet to the wind.  After a night of celebrating with his college buddies I'm surprised he remembered me the next day.  True love was swift as we were engaged just a few months later and have now been together for half his life and a little over half of mine.  When my kids ask me what the most important thing is to find in a person I always answer a good sense of humor as that will get you farther as a couple than anything else!  Here's to 21 years of laughter and support through the tears.

Here is a close up showing the liquid glass detailing I did - I picked out I love and U as the only items on the front to get liquid glass.  The small hearts in I (heart) you have a bit of pink watercolor pencil in them for some shading.

Materials Used:

Paper:  Desert Sand, White Daisy

Stamps:  February Word Puzzle (retired), Love Always

Other:  Liquid Glass, Watercolor Pencils, Basic Brads, White Grosgrain Ribbon, Blush Dazzling Diecuts (former promotion)

Valentine's Day Countdown Day #6 Card with CTMH Love Always, Noted Backgrounds and Key to my Heart

Today's card uses the same paper set and basic elements (a heart and a big flower) as yesterday's card.  I wanted to show how easy it is to take a couple of the same elements but make different cards.  The sentiment has been stamped in Chocolate and then I went over the letters with Liquid Glass - the needle point tip allows you to follow writing or make very small details - love it!  I again stamped the heart with our Noted Backgrounds set but this time in Chocolate.

Materials Used:
Paper:  Key to my Heart (retired)
