Lady & The Tramp Anniversary Heart Shaped Card

 Hello crafty friends! Today my hubby and I are celebrating 18 happy years of marriage! Woo hoo! I am feeling very blessed and oh so thankful. Lady & the Tramp was the theme to our wedding so I decided to use that for my card theme. 

I made a heart shaped card base with silver card stock and sized it at 5.75" tall. The Lady and the Tramp SVG is from a talented friend at the Krafty Nook blog. I cut it out at over 5.3 inches because of all the little tiny pieces. I inked all the pieces with Tim Holtz distress inks. 

The heart background was blended using Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, Faded Jeans and Chipped Sapphire distress inks. I used a paint brush to splatter water and I also used my metallic silver Wink Of Luna to splatter little silver specs as well. Lastly I used my Spectrum Noir Sparkle pen to add more specs and to sparkle up the hearts. The sparkle however did NOT stick to the blended background. So I spread the glitter with a baby wipe and the sparkle pen left watermarks. I will keep this in mind the next time I blend a background. 

I tried to capture the sparkle but it would not photograph well for me today. I used Glossy Accents over the eyes which added just the right touch.

I had a hard time with whether to use a sentiment on the front or not but ultimately decided to go without. On the inside I stamped heart pawprints from the Christmas Doggy Stamps at My Creative Time and the Happy Anniversary sentiment from MCT Many Greetings. 

Thank you so much for hoppin by!!!

Today we are showcasing the Sending Love stamp set. 

Here is the project I created....

I made a masculine Valentine's Day card for my hubby. He loves The Nightmare Before Christmas and I chose this silhouette of Jack and Sally from Krafty Nook and added a shimmery heart from the Cricut Wild Card cartridge for the moon. I love this sentiment and it goes so well with the image. 

The card base is a dark purple pearl card stock cut to make a 5"x7" card. I added a layer of paper from the DCWV Once Upon A Time stack. The heart moon is cut from a glitter stack. This pic captures the shimmer.

Here is a close up of the sentiment:
