Not a Weed

My hubby and I met on a blind date set up by our parents (like an arranged marriage??).  Our first meeting was in a sports bar, with my brothers, their wives, my mother and his friend in attendance--really romantic. Later at home, I told my mother "He's a nice guy, but it's not like anything is going to come of it. I'm in Texas (I was in graduate school) and he's in South Dakota." Yeah, famous last words. So tomorrow is our 11th wedding anniversary.

I made a card for him, and while it is incredibly feminine, I think his shmoopie side will like it. I was inspired by Paige's challenge over on the Create blog to make a card with the sentiment "If friends were flowers, I'd pick you."  I got out my stamp from Lawn Fawn's "Hello, Friend" set, and created this card:

Yeah, I know...isn't that digital stamp from Pink Cat Studios so stinkin' cute?! Here's a close-up:

I broke out the Copics again, and while I am such a novice, it was so much fun to color the image. I feel like I'm 7 when I'm coloring.  Come to think of it, the coloring kind of looks like an 7-year-olds (LOL!). 

Thanks for looking, and thanks for the comments!
