Something Shiny
I found this Loon stamp at the Enchanted Cottage and bought it to do a card for him. All the guys in my life will probably get these "loony" cards in the next year.
In honor of Less is More, I decided to emboss it to shine it up a bit. I really like it better embossed than not. And since Loons are pretty much black and white, I wasn't compelled to color the stamp with markers and left it in silhouette. I find that I like embossed silhouettes.
The card base is Brushed Silver to add a little bit more shine. And the beads definitely shine.
Supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted

It seems like only yesterday that we got married. And then, it seems like we've been married forever. Isn't it funny how we perceive time?
Thanks so much for joining me today.
Enjoy!

It definitely must be a great relationship if you are still shopping for ducks!! It's a great card...it has a duck, it's simple for a guy, but it's got a little shine for the special occasion!
First of all....happy anniversary! Hope you have a wonderful day.
This is so pretty, Bonnie. Beautiful layout and image! Simply a gorgeous card.

Happy Anniversary, Bonnie to you and Ducky! He's a ducky guy and a LUCKY guy! That's even three years longer than us. What's your secret? LOL! If I need advice at this point, might as well give it up! Have an awesome celebration!!
It's a great card! I love the sophisticated look of it even with a duck on it!!
Happy Anniversary - love the duck card

This is gorgeous Bonnie I like the way you turned the duck stamp into a shiny medallion. I think I could do with a loon stamp for some of the guys in my family too!
Happy Anniversary Bonnie! This card is just stunning love the loon stamp and the embossing really makes it stand out more~LOVE IT!
Happy Anniversary - fab card too!
Yes, time is a funny thing. Congratulations on your 43rd anniversary.
Your card is awesome. I really like the brushed silver paper. I am almost positive he had a big smile when he got his card....with the loon. :-)
Happy Anniversary. Great job on the card and stamp choice. Perfect!
What a Bonnie Card! It's simple and elegant, I really like it. Happy Anniversary, best wishes, Karen
Happy anniversary! As a birdwatcher, I especially love this stamp. The loon family are all called divers here and while they can often be seen in the winter months flying around the UK's coast, they are really something to see up in Scotland in the late spring/early summer when they have their striking summer plumage.
Hi Bonnie, simple, but so effectful and perfect. Just great.

This is a great LIM card - and happy anniversary to you and hubby! M x
Happy Anniversary! Hope your DH loved the elegant card. :)
First of all...Happy Anniversary! LOVE the card...so perfect for a guy! The "loon" stamp was a good buy! We actually caught a loon when I was a child. It had landed on the runway at the airport where my daddy worked and tore its feet up. Guess the bird thought it was water. They have a VERY pointed bill....and later the loon stuck it bill through my Daddy's foot! Funny the things you remember...LOL!
Stunning card Bonnie
Anniversary wishes from me too
Thanks so much
