Hi peeps! Today is our 22nd wedding anniversary and I thought I'd share the card I made for John. He's kind of a plain guy, he doesn't like fussy stuff, so I took Linda's FMS sketch:
and came up with this:
My base is Seaside Spray, and the main panel is a piece of Sand & Sea DSP, on which I stamped a lighthouse silhouette from Sweet & Sassy with some trees in the background:
I was a bit surprised; after stamping the lighthouse in Misty Moonlight, I stamped the trees in the background with Seaside Spray ink, and it actually turned the lighthouse a lighter shade...which looks kind of cool! The sentiment is from Many Mates, and the coordinating "mate" was stamped below:
"Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" John 14:6
