I created this fun anniversary card for DH! He loves music so it is always fun to include sheet music on his cards and this is from one of his favorite songs. I colour washed the music with watercolour and stamped a bit of texture on there too. I added a length of wood (he is a woodworker) which he gave me - trimmings off of a plank - when we were doing renovations in our previous house which I added to the card front using brown brads. Wood splits easily to it is best to drill holes where you need them. I gently used an awl which worked on one side unfortunately on the other side it split the wood. Nothing a little double sided tape didn't fix!! I added small heart die cuts (buttons on the SX gingerbread man) as well as an embellished punchie greeting. It still needed a bit of something so I added two large embellished hearts. The open heart is one from a triple set Sizzlet which I coloured with brown and yellow ink. The full heart is from a SU heart Sizzlet which I cut from foil cardstock and coloured with Sharpie markers until it was the colour that I wanted.
I really like how this turned out!!
