Anniversary Card for my Hubby!

I made an card for my hubby for our 32nd Anniversary earlier this month.
I saw a card on Pinterest, made by Lisa House using CTMH That's Amore paper (retired). I loved the design and thought it would work well with
CTMH Passages paper (which I love and is also retired). I also made 
my card quite a bit wider than the one I saw here.

Here's my version:

My hubby liked it and loved the buttons!

(CTMH buttons with Colonial White Waxy Flax as the threads)

I used Barn Red cardstock for the base and made

the sentiment in MS Word using the RGB codes

I had to match the Barn Red color. Then I inked all

the edges of all the pieces in Desert Sand

before assembling them together on the card.

A peek inside:

I used the RGB codes to match Olive for the inside print, except

for a big "I Love You", which I kept in Barn Red.

Then I printed it all out on Colonial White cardstock,

and trimmed for the shapes I needed.

After inking the edges of the inside pieces,

I first matted the Colonial White on Olive cardstock

and then on the same striped B&T patterned

paper as the one piece on the front.

But with the camera angle, or maybe a tiny

movement when taking this photo, the stripes

came out a little funny looking in the photo!

Oh well, you get the idea! :)
