The Crafty Den: Krafty Chicks challenge #779

Good morning lovely friends; it's Thursday so that means it's time for a new challenge over at Krafty Chicks challenge. We have a 5 week month so that means we have an extra 'Anything Goes' challenge this week and Diane is our hostess. It can't get any easier than ATG so come and join in the fun with us.

The world's your oyster this week, you can make anything you like. I wanted to share the anniversary card I made for my hubby (which was a few weeks ago). I love the fun image and sentiment and went for a bright and cheery colour combo. The card is 7" x 7" in size. I hope you like it.

Here is my card:

A closer look at the image:

Plus I decorated the inside:

I began by stamping the image onto alcohol marker friendly card, coloured it with Promarkers and added some white gelly roll pen highlights. I used the coordinating die to cut it out. To create my card base I cut one piece of white card 8" x 7" and another piece 7" x 7"; on the larger piece I scored at 1" on the 8" side and used this 'tab' to attach the two panels together using double sided tape. I cut a white panel 4 3/4" square and using a heart stencil and some light grey ink created a soft background for my images. I matted this panel onto some gold mirri card with double sided tape. I cut a piece of yellow patterned paper 5 3/4" square and again matted it onto the gold mirri card with double sided tape. I then cut another white panel 6 3/4" square and matted it onto the gold mirri card again. I adhered all the layers together with double sided tape. I stamped the happy anniversary and husband words onto scrap white card and cut them out with a sentiment strip die. I adhered the image into the centre of the stencilled panel using foam tape and stamped the 'me love you' sentiment in black ink below. I added the other sentiments above the image with foam squares. The whole panel was then adhered to the card base with double sided tape. For a final finishing touch I die cut 5 hearts from the gold mirri card and added them around the image with liquid glue. I kept the inside fairly simple this time; I cut I white panel 5 3/4" square and again added a gold mirri card mat. I added a border of the patterned paper to the top and bottom with double sided tape and stamped the sentiment in the centre with black ink. I added some more gold hearts in the left upper and right bottom corners. The panel was adhered to the card base with double sided tape. Quite a few layers and dimension on this card but I knew I wouldn't be posting it so it didn't matter.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
