You Complete Me

... Hi! I was looking at my calendar this morning and realised that it's our 23rd wedding anniversary next week. So, I've made a card for my wonderful husband, Jonathan. This is it:

Stamps: Lil' Inkers - It's Today, Right?, Pieces of Me

Inks: Gina K - Wild Dandelion, Passionate Pink, Blue Raspberry, Lucky Clover; Versafine Clair - Nocturne

Dies: Lil' Inkers - Puzzle Pieces

Accessories: White Card; Copic Markers; I-Stencil - Inverse Square

I'm submitting this card to AAA Cards - AAA#263 Anything CAS goes with the option of Wedding/Anniversary, The Paper Players - PP#685 bold, bright colours, and to Cardz 4 Guyz - C4G#345 where they want CAS.

I went through my stash and came across the fun puzzle die and matching sentiments. I used a square stencil with the wonky design and added ink - it was whatever was left on the brush. I die cut the puzzle pieces from white card and then decided to colour them with Copic markers. I layered the pieces together and adhered them to the centre of the stencilled pattern. I finished the front with the sentiment - which is perfect, as Jonathan does complete me!!

I cut a piece of white card slightly smaller than the base. I stamped the bold anniversary greeting (my all time favourite) and added a fun sentiment below. I also stamped some outline puzzle pieces to match the colours on the front of the card. I'm not sure what we're doing for our anniversary yet, but we might go out for dinner!!

That's all for today. Bye for now.

Nuts about you ....

.... Morning all!  Hope your weekend is going well.  I've a fun and funky card to share with you this morning:

Stamps: Rick St Dennis Digi - Robotics 2 Out of this World; Stampin' Up! - Just Sayin'; Lil Inkers - Pieces of Me
Inks: Archival - Jet Black
Dies: Lil Inkers - Stitched Rectangles #5; SU/Sizzix - Word Bubbles Framelits
Accessories: White Lustre Card; Kanban DP - Industriana; Copic Markers

I'm submitting this to Less is More - LIM#182, where the recipe is "Anything Goes".  This card is about as clean and simple as it gets.  I don't have white space, but I do have grey space with rivets - so I'm not sure whether the LIM Ladies will allow it, but it is CAS!  I'm also submitting to the Rick St Dennis Facebook Challenge where anything goes as long as you use a RSD image.  I love this fun, funky fembot; I coloured her with Copic markers and then fussy cut her out.  I adhered her directly to the card.  I covered the card base with this industrial design paper, which I think goes perfectly with the robot.  I made the sentiment on my PC using two fonts - CK Chemistry (top line) and Baby Lexi (bottom line).  The word bubble frame comes from SU Just Sayin' and I cut it out with the coordinating die; it's attached with dimensional tape.  On the inside I cut mat layer in the same design paper and die cut a white panel on which I stamped a fun sentiment.

You've probably guessed that I made this for Jonathan.  He was at a photo shoot in West Michigan yesterday and I missed him!!  Yes, I do know I'm soft :)  That's all for now.
