"Betting someone half your stuff that you'll love them forever."
Love the combination of today's challenges, because they inspired me to make this fun card.
Dina challenged us to paint circles on our cards today. So I searched Pinterest for ideas and found a tip to paint polka dots with bubble wrap by wrapping it around a toilet paper tube and rolling it across the paper. I started with a faux wood background and added the polka dots with Distress paint. I ended up with kind of a mess, but it's suitable for a background. I think I needed thicker paint. I also printed out blank dice and painted the dots on.
Dawn's challenge was to be inspired by playing cards or card phrases. I scrolled through the card phrases several times, but nothing jumped out at me. Then I went to Pinterest again and searched for "gambling quotes". The first thing that came up said "Marriage: betting someone half your stuff that you'll love them forever." Perfect. I needed an anniversary card for my friend.
This card is for my friend and his husband and I wanted to use playing cards, so a pair of kings of course. I started with the King of Hearts and noticed that if I paired it with the King of Spades they would be facing each other. Then I took the blank dice and painted the dots on so that they would be rolling an eleven, because they are celebrating their 11th anniversary this year.

Oh my gosh is this ever creative! Just a fantastic, personalized card for your friends' anniversary. I've never heard that quote you mention before, but it cracked me up!
