this is an anniversary card for my DH...my best friend for 29 years. I have no idea how I ended up with a card that looks like this because we both do not like the color pink and hearts are definitely are not our taste. He likes eagles and earth tones. I had some old distress inks pads that were drying up and I wiped them on a full piece of cardstock because I did not want to waste the ink. The colors were awful...raspberry, concord grape, and spun sugar. So this looked horrible. Then I Crumpled the page up into a ball to get some wrinkles and to relieve frustration. I cut the page in half and ripped half of the page into small pieces...also a good stress relieving exercise. I glued the riped pieces to the other half, sponged some ink around tge edges and figured it was done. After coloring the heart I put modeling paste on the edges for more dimension and die cut the leaves. His birthday is in February, so I will have to go for that eagle card for his birthday. TFL, Francie

Eagles and earth tones, it's not, but I bet he loved it because it came from the heart....your heart. Hope you had a wonderful anniversary. Love your beautiful card.
