It all started with this AMAZING sketch by a 10 year old girl named Aly! I found this sketch at Pile It On Challenges. I can't even come up with ideas this great and she's only 10!
Here's my card using her sketch. I hope it does Aly justice. This is my first experience with Pile It On and the rule (besides having fun which I did!) was to use at least one more current challenge. I used the Cuttlebug Spot Challenge Make a Monochramatic Card, and the 365 Cards Challenge using the word "So" in my sentiment.
A couple of details about this card. My background shape is actually done with masking and not a separate piece of cardstock. I taped a piece of thin paper on my gray card and then stamped the text background over and over until the card was covered. Then I removed the paper and the image was left blank. It is so pretty in person. (If you enlarge the pic of the entire card, it's easier to see that detail). The lovebird tag is from a DEAL at Michaels half off - Making Memories Black Tie die cuts. I KNEW I'd use them one day.
My anniversary isn't until November 19th but I have the most perfect card ready!
