Today is my eighth wedding anniversary! THIS is the card I’m giving to my husband when he gets home from work but today’s card would work, too. Maybe I’ll surprise him two cards. 😉 Apparently, he made me a Paper Smooches anniversary card, too! I can’t wait to see it and I will share it with you. I used a bunch of stamps from Metropolis to create this card, including the skyline, sentiment and fireworks. I used Dude Block to reverse stamp the skyline as a reflection and also used it to stamp the blue water. The sailboat, popped on foam tape, is from My Guy and the waves are from Surf and Turf. I used the rock-and-roll technique on the fireworks and added glitter to make them stand out.
