Hubby's Anniversary card

It's our wedding anniversary today :o) I haven't actually seen Pav yet because he left early for work this morning, but he was only doing a few hours so he's on his way back now.  Here's the card I've made for him...



I know, it's probably a bit on the girly side, but luckily hubby doesn't mind that sort of thing!  I've used the lovely Valentine Zoe image from Digistamp Boutique, coloured with promarkers and koh-i-noor pencils.  Added glossy accents to the heart balloon and then sprinkled it with glamour dust, and added some sakura clear stardust pen on the little hearts.  Papers are MME 'ooh la la for him' with dark brown cardstock from Papermill Direct.  Bakers twine and pearl from stash, sentiment is Papermania.

I'm entering my card for the following challenges:
We're not doing anything special for our anniversary, as we don't really have any willing babysitters.  We'll probably just have a takeaway and some nice wine... oh we know how to celebrate eh?  Lol, never mind - one day we'll be able to go out whenever we like and I'm sure I'll miss the kids being little then!

Hi Lisa,

Happy anniversary for yesterday for yesterday. Hope you managed to do something nice when Pav finally got home!!

Your card is beautiful and I love the fading out of the colour behind the image. Did you do that with the pencils? I would love to know how you got that effect if you would like to share your secret!
