I decided to try the elegant direction for the LOVEFEST2014I. The first time I made this bkg a few months ago I destroyed it by accident. I glued the image panel to bkg papers that I ended up not liking. When you want something to stick, it doesn't. Of course, since I wanted to remove the image panel the glue held like cement and I destroyed it. Luckily, I took a photo before the disaster occured. I recreated the image panel and stuck with golds for the bkg papers.

Stunning! You do wonders with those strong vibrant bright colours. I love the white highlighting on the silhouette image - you make me want to go and pull out one of my few detailed silhouette stamps.

Awesome! Love what you did with this! It is frustrating when you want to change papers and you can't without destroying things. I've ended up cutting the background paper away from the image to save the image. It leaves the image layer a bit thick but at least it saves it!
------------------------------ Create a wonderful day!

My word! What fabulous color!!! Your image panel is amazing! You made me laugh with your glue/sticking comment! But I really like how your card base, next layer and ribbon bring out the orange tones in your beautiful image layer! Your title is perfect too! Gorgeous card!!!
