Oh, Kim, I'm so excited for you being selected FS. That should have happened ages ago. Your gallery is beautiful.
I took this feminine and elegant card and turned it into a textured collage b/g. I don't do collages or distressed very well, so please forgive me. But, I tried.
I notice you do have some beautiful collage cards on your site, so I thought this was fitting with your taste also.
I sprayed the Clear Textured Spray on the white cardstock panel, dried with a heat gun, then rubbed Distressed Inks (about 4 colors) across the panel. I then stamped a variety of hearts over it using cherry cobbler. You can't see it as much as I would have liked to, but you can see them here and there. I white embossed the sentiment, clear embossed the 2 main hearts and added a tag with twine along with a wood heart hanging from red thread.
AudreyAnn and I tackled this technique together this w/end. She remembered what to do. Although, this isn't exactly what I had in mind for this card, it has to do as my anniversary is this week and I don't have a card - YIKES!
Thanks for taking a look and enjoy your week Kim!

Well, I missed this technique-you know living out here in the boonies of Georgia we don't get to the city but once a month if we're lucky. I have never heard of that spray. I think this makes for an exceptional background. What a beauty and theat wood heart is the pip! Cute card of the DH. I hope you lovebirds have a fabulous Anniversary!!!

...sure it�s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?
