I've Fallen Under Your Spell

The theme today at Top Tip Tuesday is numbers.

It was my wedding anniversary last week, and hubster is most insistent that when I make him a card I should not put any kind of cute bear on it whatsoever.  (he spoils all my fun!!).

So, this card has no bears.  I've also kept it C&S so it doesn't have much else on it in the way of embellies either!!

Unfortunately for me, hubby likes zombies, collecting vintage razors, and fantasy / sci-fi books.  Since I think neither zombies or shaving are very romantic for an anniversary card, my card has a fantasy / magical theme.

My typed sentiment says 'I've fallen under your spell' which was the most romantic spell-themed sentiment I could conjure up !!

'Conjure', get it !?

I'll get my coat......

Now as it happens, hubby (who can never remember my birthday but is usually very reliable at remembering when we got married) forgot it was our wedding anniversary until 10pm the night before.  By then the local petrol station / Spar shop was shut so he had to admit that he'd not got me an anniversary card to give me the next day.  He seemed more upset about it than I was, probably because I had already assumed he had forgotten because he'd not mentioned it.  Although I was secretly hoping he was going to surprise me with something nice!!!)

Anyway, he was so upset that when he got home from work the next evening (our anniversary night), he spent an hour at my craft desk using my stuff to make me a card using an image he'd found on the internet.

So when I got home from work later that evening, knowing I like pink and blue (and bears) he handed me this:

He said that colouring it took him ages, and also made his eyes "go funny", so he doesn't think he'll be doing it again.  But he was rather proud of it as a first attempt at card making, especially when I said I'd rather have him make one than buy one from the shops.  :0)

My Card Recipe (sorry I've no idea where hubby's image comes from to give credit):

• Images - Bugaboo The Chosen One, Sidekick, The Wise One, Magical Tidbits Couldron & Bookshelf
• Typed Sentiment (Scrappy Looking font)
• Colouring - Promarkers, Copics, Sakura Stardust Gel pens
• Is that it?  No flowers, pearls, ribbons, die cuts, pretty glittered papers?  Where's the rest?

I've been inspired by:

• Zombies
• Vintage razors
• Magical fantasy
• Simon Says Stamp Challenge - Camera / Film related (Harry Potter)
• Cupcake Craft - Boys
• Creative Craft - For the Fellas

Happy crafting.
