A Moroccan Timeless Love Floral Phases Anniversary Card for my Hubby using Stampin' Up! Products

Today is a super quick tutorial as it is my Wedding Anniversary

We have been together 23 years, Marries for 16 Years

He is my Soulmate and Best Friend

And so this is his card for this year.

I began by using using a sponge brayer to add some subtle colour to the background with Dapper Denim Ink, to tie in the two halves of the card.

I used a combination of the Floral Phrases Stamp Set and the Timeless Love Stamp Set to get the sentiment I wanted on the card front.

I also stamped a sentiment inside the card

The designer Series Paper is called Moroccan & is why I chose to use Gold Ribbon to tie the two halves of the card together, and finally, used lots of teeny Basic Pearls to get more texture into the Card.

A Moroccan Heartfelt Sympathy Card using Stampin' Up! Products UK

Well, yesterday was a sad day. We had to say goodbye to a good friend.

She was my mentor, when learning about Rabbit Coat Colour Genetics, and without her, I wouldn't have the wide range of colours available in rabbits. She was a stoic lady who I admired greatly.

But each evening, I look up into our beautiful night sky, and remember all those I have lost and miss.

Anne will take her place up there, as well as in my heart, until we meet again.

The sentiment from the Heartfelt Sympathy Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! says it all
