Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge

   
Click Here

I have been wanting to make a weathervane for
as soon as I got the set French Country. I think it
finally came together for me. With 4 stamp sets.

I added Glossy Accents 

This is  for my husband of 36 years.
 This is an anniversary card for my husband of 36 years…. I married young!  I wanted it to say thank you on the front of the card because  he has given me 36 wonderful years. God sure has blessed me with a good honest, hard working man. He treats me like a queen. Oh and how he can make me laugh! 
The mountains have always been due north of any home we have lived in , my husband is also my due north… HOME to me. Even though we are older, I still fill the same way about him as I did when I was dating him. 
When my husband saw my last post ( the baby card)  he said you're not going to post that one are you. I laughed and said I did already. 
Onto the card, I used many stamp sets to make this. Waltzingmouse: Join Us, French Country, Michael's craft store for the letters, The dotted round circle is from Denami Design. Spellbinders dies Twisted Metal  Tags and Accents… ( That I had to have after seeing it on Jeanne cards, she also told me that Cathy gave her a great tip when using S. B. dies … use wax paper… the best idea ever !) SB Banner Ribbons and circles.  Papertrey Ink cardstock . Below is the sketch for the Waltzingmouse challenge.
My guy!
