Anniversary card

It was my Wedding Anniversary a couple of weeks ago and as my husband loves cute I made him a cute card.
The background paper was an insert from a birthday card earlier in the year, I thought it was a lovely colour and I love the pink flowers. I stamped the grasses and birds with black Archival ink and the branches were stamped with broken china Distress ink. The main image was stamped twice and embossed onto watercolour paper and I coloured it with Sakura pens and a waterbursh. I cut the birds out from the second image and 3D them onto the main image. I added a silver peel of along the bottom.
The stamps I've used are
PaperArtsy, the grasses and birds at the bottom and the main image.
Inkadinkado, the branches and birds at the top.

    This might be cute but it is quirky and whimsical which appeals to me.

  4. This is gorgeous Hazel. I love how you've changed the background and made it your own.

    It was our anniversary last month and as my hubby dislikes cute I made him a plain black and white card.
