Hi everyone! I made a quick anniversary card for my in-laws yesterday afternoon since we were having a fancy French dinner in Philadelphia with them last night. ('Quick' means not quite an hour - LOL) The lobster bisque and Beaujolais nouveau wine were sublime, by the way!
Yep, I looked through my card stash, and nothing fit the bill for their anniversary, so I whipped this up before heading to the restaurant. Thank goodness for the beautiful sentiment and cluster of flower/leaves from Inspired By Stamping! They helped dress up the card in a jiffy. It really is a simple card, after all....just dressed up with a few pearls and a fancy die cut, and of course, the IBS goodies. ;)
Inspired By Stamping is hosting an open Design Team Call! Some info for you:
Good luck to you if you decide to try out for the team! And thank you SO much for your visit today. Have a wonderful day!
