Card for DH

(More info in a few minutes)!  This is for DH, and I had to take it off the screen for a bit while he was around!  Our 58th anniversary is Monday.  After so many years we do not always do something special, but I thought he ought to have a card this year LOL!!!  The image is from Beccy's Place, and most of the DP is from a DCWV pad that I have had for years.    I added some gold sticker strips and Cheery Lynn branches.  The coloring is with pastel chalk pencils - a favorite for subtle coloring.
It seems good to be posting again after several days of travel, attending the HS graduation for a granddaughter (last one in HS!), and then entertaining our daughter and family who came to spend time at our RV park.  There were 9 in our group - not staying at our RV, but gathering here for meals.  How fun to get together before the 3 grandkids scatter - to KY, CO, and WA.

Congratulations on your 58 years of marriage Dorothy, what a wonderful milestone!
You've done a great job putting this card together for your hubby, I'm sure he will love it. The patterned paper you used in the background is so cute... I just love the crazy eyes on the little bird.
All the best for Monday!
Cheers,
Beccy

Love the way you colored your image and the sweet papers you used on the background. Thanks a lot for blessing us with your entry this week at Word Art Wednesday. Make sure to stop by and join us again in another Challenge starting tomorrow. Leaving you with God's Word in Colossians 3:23-24 which says, "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving." Have a blessed day!
