Close Your Eyes

Hi everyone, this is my last card as GDT over at Lili's Little Fairies. I've had a great time being a temporary fairy! For this challenge they want you to use your favourite tool. I'm sure that you're all like me and have to use so many tools, but my favourite would defo have to be my trusty Cuttlebug! I don't think I've made a card without it :).

I wish this weather would improve so I could get some decent pictures. I've coloured Close Your Eyes in with distress inks, and strongly resisted the urge to add glamour dust. It's Mr. H and my wedding anniversary on 17th May, we got married on a gorgeous day in Rome four years ago, and I thought I'd use this opportunity to make our anniversary card. This is why although it's a gorgeously soppy image there's no flowers, bling or sparkle. I think it's just boyish enough.

I've used my Cuttlebug to cut out all four of the oval nesties, the border, the swirl and the corners. The papers are from Maja Design, gorgeous even if these have no flowers on them. I couldn't find any 'Our Anniversary' stamps so I settled on this 'With Love' one. The inside is still empty as my hubby actually said to me that he wanted a bought card!!! Can you imagine?? The amount of card making stash I have squirrelled away throughout the house, not to mention the fact that you can no longer make the desk out in the attic and hubby wants a shop bought card!!! I think my face gave me away, he said he likes cards to have nice verses in (that tends to be his only criticism when I make a card, he won't have it that people like blank insides, but there again he is a printer, lol). So to compromise I have to find a nice verse and print it to put inside, so I've not yet decided if I'm going to decorate the inside or just use an insert.

I'm also going to enter this card into the Wedding, Anniversary or Shower challenge at Fashionista.
I must admit I found it hard not adding my usual girlie bits on, but hopefully my hubby will not find it too girlie.
Hugs,
