Here is a picture of the other Anniversary card that I made for my oldest brother and his wife. My sister - in - law took a picture and emailed it to me...hope it works : )
I used chocolate chip with a dp from SU that had Soft Sky in it... then used more choc chip and sky to finish it. I used my trio butterfly die from Dienamics...I truly LOVE that die ... and I used my labels 18 from sizzix too and some bling of course.
Then I used the reverse side of that same dp, which is a soft floral and made a birthday card for a sister - in - law on my husbands side of the family... Here birthday is the 9 th...I used an old favorite layout and I added a white crocheted flower behind the blue butterfly , that really brought out the white bottom layer of the butterfly~ which was made by cutting a butterfly in half and placing behind the sky colored layer ~
Sometimes pretty dp is all you need to make a card that is just right for that special person : )
Last but not least, I made a masculine card for a friend who has his birthday on the 8th. We worked together for 19 years and he is a part of our family. We used to always share pizza at work to celebrate our birthdays...I hope we can find a day to share some pizza this year too : ) I used an older color from SU called True Thyme and a dp that coordinated nicely. I added a flat piece of ribbon to keep it masculine, but add some texture , and a design lable punch for the sentiment, Then punched another label in Thyme and again I cut it in half and placed it behind my white label. No bling, no fussing...
just a wish for a great birthday !
