A 40th Anniversary card for my husband. He loves trees, the "Lovely as a Tree" stamp set, fall Aspen and Me! Aren't I the lucky one?!? After hiking thru the beautiful Aspen groves in Great Basin National Park I just had to try to make a card that would remind us of our wonderful vacation. It went together so easily, but has been a challenge to upload. I was also inspired to use my aqua painters for the 1st time by all of jacksonbelle's beautiful watercolor cards. Enjoy, Nancy

Oh yes, this is very special. I love masculine cards (grew up with three younger brothers) and this is a beauty. I really love how you colored the trees and used the hardware. Everything is perfectly balanced and coordinated. Wonderful. TFS. Linda

Nancy...I completely echo everything that Jami said. The card is gorgeous. I love your painting. And, how on earth is it possible that you have been married 40 years. Get out!!!! Congratulations to both you and Denny for achieving such an admirable milestone together. Best wishes!

I don't really stamp much. I'm just here for the company.

Happy anniversary, Nancy! This is such a gorgeous card. I love the Fall season with all of its rich colors. Your card just gives me a little hint of what I hope to see in a few weeks.

Gorgeous card!!! I love how you did the trees and colored them. The coloring under them looks like some of the leaves have fallen... How neat!!! The hardware is great. TFS
