SSW2-120 Romance


Our fearless leader, Anne, from the Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 blog celebrates her 30th anniversary this month.  Since the traditional 30th anniversary gift is pearl, she requested that we make love/romance or pearl cards to help her celebrate.  She will give our winner a selection of pearl embellishments.

Even though I've been happily married for 17 years, I struggled with this challenge. I'm not sure that either card that I created is REALLY what Anne had in mind when she asked for "romance/love/pearl" cards!

My first card uses the SugarPea stamp set: Undying Love.  How fun is this one ... but in the end I decided it was a bit too Halloween-y.

So ... back to the drawing board I went.  My next card uses the Bugaboo image: Stella/Gus-Commitment and Insanity.  Again, I had my doubts.  Pretty much when you see a Gus and Stella card, true love is NOT what you think about!!

Oh well, I hope that you will join in the fun over on the Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 blog and wish Anne and Martin a VERY happy anniversary.

  1. Two terrific cards Joanna....love the quirkiness of the zombie card and I would have to say that my hubby and I are very much like Gus and Stella! We have also been married for 17 years

  3. Two wonderful cards Joanna....I think I'll let your hubby enjoy his zombies something I'm not into but I do love the colours. And for Gus and Stella well you know I love them to bits and this is a wonderful anniversary card. Our big 20th is next year.... I would love to go back to France and Italy especially Saint Paul de Vence.
