Happy Anniversary to a Deer Couple…

Did you think I had disappeared; especially with all of my puns lately?  LOL.  No such thing.  I’ve got a couple more coming up next month, too.  (Just thought I’d fore-warn you.)
Smile
This is an image I’ve had pretty much from the beginning of my blog.  It’s so sweet, and is from a former site “winkwinkink.com”.  Melanie did such lovely animals.  This is the second time I’ve used him, and I can see him being one I could use again and again.



This little guy was just too irresistible.  Here is a close up.



And this is how I did the inside of the card. The top portion is where I wrote my message to the couple.

 

The ingredients I’ve used are:

I used four punches and die cuts. They are Cheery Lynn, Nestibilities, Martha Stewart and Fiskars. The image is my newest die cut by Nestibilities.  The card stock, buttons, gems word bubble, paper and ribbon are from my stash. I made the flower by using petals that came in a package that could be put together. I generated the sentiments on my computer.

I’m entering this card in the following challenges:

I hope you’ve all enjoyed my card and will leave me a comment.  I may be missing in action a little over the next few weeks, as I have a major project I’m working on, but I’ll still try to do a card here and there.

Hugs,
