Amazed at the number and amazed by my great good fortune--today is our 48th anniversary! The inside sentiment (shown below) says it all. We have a quiet day planned at home with dinner out at our favorite Mexican restaurant in Canandaigua which means a walk along the lake afterwards I'm sure.
About a month ago, I ordered the Ellen Hutson "Abstract Sunset" and "Abstract Mountain" dies. I used the "Abstract Sunset" die here turning it into an ocean (or lake). The MFT Cloud stencil was used on the largest piece from the die, and I die cut the rest of the pieces from various blues found in my scrap folders.
The stamps are from W+9's "Dockside" set. I fussy cut the two sailboats. The sentiment is from my fave Pink and Main "Special Day" set---today certainly is special!
The inside sentiment is from the newer Papertrey Ink (Ink to Paper) set "Seas of Life," and not only fits the theme of the card but expresses exactly how I feel about spending nearly half a century with one of the kindest, most loving men I know.
I'm entering this in the Card Concept Challenge:Long Summer Days--the inspiration is, of course, the nautical theme, but also the color scheme. It wasn't as easy to decide on the design style this time, I think it's closest to Clean and Layered--though most of the layers are flat. The description of the styles are here, and I'd love to know what others think!
