Project: A simple anniversary card
This week it is my 8 year wedding anniversary and I wanted to make something fun but simple as a card for my husband.
I love these Gorjuss stamps, I have about 4 or 5 of them and they are so lovely but I find them a bit hard to use sometimes. Maybe I just don't try hard enough. Anyway, this one is a personal favourite, I think she was my first Gorjuss stamp and I love the little heart card she's holding. I decided it was perfect for the anniversary card.
I colored her using Spectrum Noir pencils and tried to make her hair a bit like mine (but hers is glossier and shinier as I'm too lazy to blow dry) and then I fussy cut her out as she's a simple shape. The heart is a giant punch and I stamped over it using a love stamp set that I got at a craft fair earlier this year. I added the sparkly 8 for our 8 year anniversary as it's the same color as the heart.
It's simple but sweet and I think it's perfect for the occasion!

This is a perfect anniversary card and I would say with her stripey tights she is very you and your hair always looks shiny to me! I love stamping large sentiments onto big shapes like this, really works so well every time. Cx
