Anniversary + Sketch + Monochromatic Green

Hello Friends!
I'm back after a little break. Hubby & I went to Gulf Shores again to visit my cousin. I will post some pictures of our trip on my other blog, Picture This: Everyday Beauty. We were gone about 12 days...Wow! I'm not used to being away from my craftroom that long! It took me a while to get back in the groove. Still haven't figured out how to get back in the house-cleaning groove! LOL
Anyway, I needed a couple cards, one for my daughter and son-in-law's anniversary and the other is a sympathy card. Here is the first one:


Believe it or not, I don't have a "Happy Anniversary" stamp...yet. So I found this one and thought it would fit nicely with a green color scheme. I am entering this card in the Tuesday Morning Sketch Challenge #189 and they added a "twist" this time, which is...it must be done in Monochromatic Green. 
Here's the sketch:

Absolutely gorgeous, Sandie! Do you know, I think nearly every stamper is missing SOMETHING - I don't have a single Easter sentiment. Every year I realize it, and every year by the time Easter gets closer it's too late to order one, and the cycle continues. lol!
This pear pun is one of my favourites for lovey cards - it's just perfect :) Thanks so much for playing along with us & getting GREEN at Tuesday Morning Sketches :)
