Card of the Day - Happy 40th Anniversary!

Hello and welcome back! When you reach a certain age, your friends start celebrating milestone anniversaries. We've had a few 40th's over the last couple of years and this month there are two more. Forty is the ruby anniversary, so I knew I needed something with red. Here's the card:

The Meant to Be stamp set and coordinating framelits were meant for Valentine's Day, but I think they are great for anniversary cards. I used some of the Lovely Lipstick foil paper that was in last year's Sale-A-Bration catalog, embossed it, and layered it with Early Espresso. For some reason, this combination makes me think of a box of chocolates! I added the sentiment and a lace bow, then popped a few of the tiny hearts on as well. 

I think this picture shows the actual color of the foil paper better. My son left his photo light box up with the LED lights, so I figured I might as well take advantage of it!

These will be popped in the mail this weekend, along with some more birthday cards. June is a really busy month, but I'm trying hard to keep up!

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!
