Hello-
Today I am happy to be guest designing along with the talented team at CAS on Friday. Thank you so much for inviting me.
The theme for challenge #260 is LOVE. I happened to have a sweet set from The Greetery that was a perfect fit called Lovely Silhouettes.
I started by inking inside a masked rectangle, once I had the color saturation I wanted, I let it dry. While it was drying I stamped the sentiment from the set and die cut the Love. I glued the two together. Once the panel was dry, I heat embossed the silhouette flower stem. I added the sentiment on foam, and decorated with 3 color glass half beads.
Head on over to see what the design team has created for the challenge.
Thanks for stopping by!
PS-
I decided to share this on my GD post, since the themes are the same. Hubs and I took a few days off to celebrate our anniversary in May...but our trip was delayed til last week. We went on a love sign treasure hunt in Virginia along both coasts which included a 17 mile bridge and tunnel drive to Virginia's eastern shore. Below are some pictures from that trip. Hubs likes steam era train history and of course there were a few museums for him along the way. We did see some wild ponies in the distance along with egrets and herons while on Chincoteague Island. We've seen about 50 or so of the 340+ loveworks signs since we first started searching for them 8 years ago. It was a ton of driving, but we enjoyed our "treasures hunt".

Your card is lovely, Cat ... well named stamp! So pretty with the deep pink background --- I do love pink! :) And what a fantastic way to celebrate your anniversary. Amazing ways to show the LOVE. xx
Just browsing your blog & had to stop & say how much I enjoyed seeing your LOVE sign pictures. What a fun anniversary, although I no longer have the patience for lots of driving! Sorry I haven't visited for so long. My goal is a better routine for blog visiting when I've recovered from shoulder surgery. Thanks for your continued friendship, Cat--so appreciated!
