Anniversary Card for the Hubby

Today is our 33rd Anniversary!

I just wanted to share the card I made for my hubby.

Front View

I kept it very simple and masculine.

Just some embossing, distressing

and a simple sentiment

held on with eyelets and baker's twine!

This is a close-up of the distressing techniques...

I used a block sander to gently

sand off some of the outer green color

to expose the white core center of the

cardstock, after I had embossed it

AND I scraped the edges of the

green layer with my scissors.

So simple!

Inside of card

I can't take credit for the inside idea,

but I did do the math, LOL!

I saw this idea on Pinterest probably over

 a year ago, and thought I had pinned

it to one of my boards. I searched

for quite some time trying to find it

to give proper credit, but for the life of

me, I could not locate it.

I have over 125 boards on Pinterest

with almost 26,000 'pins'.... and

I looked on every board I thought I 

could possibly have pinned it to, but to no avail.

So, I either overlooked it or I didn't

pin it to begin with, so whoever I got 

this from.... thank you for the inspiration!
