Mr. & Mrs. Happy Anniversary

Anniversary cards are always in demand and having been on Pinterest for some time,

I have found a wonderful card that I truly enjoy making for those celebrating that special occasion. I found this great card by Linda Gutierrez at www.stampingyearround.typepad.com. I used what I had for paper and stamps to replicate the idea.

Side-bySide Mr & Mrs.

Linda had a stamp for her Mr. & Mrs. but I did mine by hand, and my Happy Anniversary is not on an oval but as you see a circle.

Remember: Get busy, make cards, have fun!

A few weeks ago I was on Pinterest and found this wonderful card. It was clever, colorful, and got me all excited about making some new cards. I bought the stamp and got right to work. I tried three versions from the card I saw, Thank You, marilynscardsandmore.blogspot.ca, for the inspiration.

Here is my version of what Marilyn had on Pinterest. These ladies know how to make it work. They are having fun together. This is a Birthday card.
I used just Crimson, Copic marker to do the coloring of the clothes a touch of browns for the hair, and finally  Cool Grey for the glasses. To add a little texture and shine I used clear adhesive on their shoes, glasses, and tops of the pocketbooks.
The background is embossed and the girls are attached with pop dots.

This version of the girls is more fancy, as thought they were headed out on he town for a night of celebrating.
In order to get the effect I wanted I had to make this card a little bigger than a regular A4 card. This is 4.75 x 6."

My final version, so far, is very casual and more colorful. Again, I added the liquid glue to the glassed, shoes, earrings, and handbags.
I have had so much fun with this stamp that the ideas just keep coming.

Thanks for stopping by and remember: Get busy, make cards, have fun!
