Grandparents Anniversary Card



Last week, my grandparents celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary. I think that is pretty amazing. don't you?  As soon as I thought about making a card to commemorate their special day, I thought of this image, Young Love from Mo Manning and I knew this image would be perfect for them. I love the look of contentment on their faces, they seem to be content with life and with each other. I colored the image with Copics and used some paper that has been in my stash for quite a while. I kept the layout and the embellishments pretty simple, because I know that is what my grandmother especially enjoys, it seems to bother her is I put to much stuff on cards that I send to her. I wish I had been there to give this to them in person, but it just didn't work out. I hope they both liked their card!


I am also entering this in the Mo's Challenge Blog's Anything Goes with a Mo Image challenge.
