It's always been you

Hello and welcome to a new week and my Monday Make for Visible Image. Last Thursday was mine and my Hb's 38th wedding anniversary. It was the hottest day of the year and we had a wonderful day out in East Sussex visiting Great Dixter House, a medieval marvel, and gardens and the pretty town of Rye.

The house was built in the mid 15th century by rich land owners to show off their wealth. No indoor photos are allowed but the inside is superb.

It was bought in 1910 by the Lloyd family who created the wonderful garden.

 There is an amazing plant nursery there too but sadly it was far too hot to put anything in the car. It reached 38c that afternoon!

We had such a great day. I will share the photos from Rye another time.
I knew the perfect sentiments to make my Hb's anniverary card would be found in this stamp set;

Have I told you lately

I used alcohol inks on glossy card to create a background

 I dripped the ink and also added some on a felt until I was happy.

I swirled some more inks onto another sheet and die cut some hearts.

2 I stamped with  sentiments.

I found the very first photo ever taken of us (In Richmond Park, July 1979) copied it onto photo paper and cut around it.

I also used the block heart in the set to add some more pattern to my background

and stamped the word soulmates into the corner (I love this typeface).

I then put my design together

I am pleased to be able to say that he really loved it

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges;

The house that stamps built 1/3 anything goes
