Hi, lovely friends! Today, I’m sharing the cutest card that my son made for our 20th wedding anniversary last month. Damian used THIS card that I made for my husband as his inspiration. If you don’t know the Squishmallow Avery story, you can read more HERE and HERE about why we’re obsessed and why our birds are often coloured like male mallards. 😉
Damian stamped and coloured 20 adorable birds, one for each year of marriage, from Simply Celebrate Critters using the Copic markers listed below. Then he added white gel pen accents just like I did on my existing card.
After die cutting the birds, he set those aside and stamped two speech bubbles from Dad Jokes and filled them with sentiments from Virtual Friends Add-On.
Next, he cut a card base from Surf Blue cardstock, plus a matching frame using the Stitched Rectangle Frames dies. Before popping all the die cuts on to the card base, Damian stamped a sentiment from the Party Animal stamp set.
After all the die cuts were arranged with small foam squares, Damian added three enamel hearts in three shades of pink-red for a pop of colour. I really love his cute and clever design to use one bird for each year of marriage!
