Thanks for the truly limited challenge today, Jeanne...it was just what I needed to get in the gallery this Friday!
I been thinking all week on how to create an anniversary of a 'homegoing' card for a dear co-worker who marks two years now. This wonderful sentiment by River City Rubber has been in the middle of my thinking! I decided to have it be the circle of my shape. It is inked with Adirondack cranberry onto GP white cs, nested and embossed with the bug. The cardbase is Impress distressed floral again inked with the cranberry. I cut the rectangular panel from Basic Grey's Urban Prairie 'milk'. I stamped Technique Tuesday's hearts from the friends set with Nick Bantock's rose madder, stamping off each time to get a different look for each one. Faux stitching from StarvingArtstamps sews it all up in TH di walnut stain.
Thanks so much for looking...there will be more thoughts my blog

Love this thoughtful card Susan! Love the faux stitching and the sentiment is just perfect! I was going to say it's "to die for" but that wouldn't be in good taste in this case! LOL! It is a great sentiment though... and so thoughtful of you to help her as she marks that two year date.
