Happy Anniversary Thoughts & Prayers

I needed to make an anniversary card for good friends of mine so I decided to play around with some of the colors that will be discontinued once the new catalog debuts.  I used the combination of Bravo Burgundy, Baja Breeze, River Rock and Always Artichoke ink using daubers.
