Two Little Love Birds Sitting…

The title reminds me of a little song we would sing as young ones if we knew a girl or boy liked each other:  “Two little love birds, sitting in a tree, k I s s I n g, first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes (person’s name) with a baby carriage.”  And in my early years we never knew what any of it was but the kissing.  Oh how times have changed.



I wanted to make a really nice card for my daughter and son-in-law’s anniversary this year.  After some searching I found this adorable image at Wee Stamps.  She does the most gorgeous images.  I actually used my sewing machine for the stitching after I had distressed the edges of the paper.




 

The recipe of things used to make the card are:

Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol
Flowers – Recollections and Marianne
Nestibilities for image, and Cheery Lynn Designs for heart, leaf flourish and butterfly
Painted white flower with Creative Inspirations Paint – pink highlights,  Stickles used on the roses
Lace was purchased at Joann’s, papers are open stock from Michaels
