Hey,

Last Sunday I had a little Skype playdate with JT.

I mainly finished off things whilst gossiping, but I did manage to FINALLY break out the Lawn Fawn Sloth set (Hanging In There) and make a card.

I used a piece of Tim Holtz woodgrain watercolour stock and blended a load of blue distress inks to create the rich blue colour.

I did the same again with green so I could cut the grass.

Looks cool right?

I was a bit unsure what the sentiment should be, but I think I've figured out what it should be.

Hey,

I am back in NYC and had a really nice day yesterday hanging out with Hubby.

The gods were on my side and my flight was smooth, so was going through customs and getting home - yay!

This month it seems everyone I know celebrates their wedding anniversary! Including Hubby and I and my Parents!

So before I left, I sat down and made a ton of Anniversary cards, based on one simple idea..

I used a Dutch Doobadoo hearts stencil and two colours of distress ink (festive berries and picked raspberry). I stenciled on to Tim Holtz distress woodgrain paper for a bit more depth.

I die-cut different kinds of anniversary greetings and affixed them in different ways to the stenciled panel.

Here is another version -

I literally made 10 of these in about 30 mins!

So easy to do and the good thing is, they look a bit edgy and like they took a ton of time :)
