DT Unik Hobby - January's Stamp Challenge

Better late than never, right?

Well, I'm finally ready with my card, using the stamp Malene at Unik Hobby challenged me to showcase for January ;)

The image is something quite different than I usually play with, but it made the perfect card for my aunt and uncle that's celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary soon :)
