Today's Inspiration Challenge is hosted by our special Benzi, and she chose this site from which to draw inspiration. When I saw this Laced Metal Wall Hanging, I knew it would be my inspiration piece.
My card is also for two other challenges. 1) Cathy's WT719 - Bring on the Blitz (or shine), and 2) Jeanne's F4A461 - Uno Layero, (one layer card)
My friends, I think this is the simplest and fastest card I have ever made! I have to pat myself on the back, as CAS cards and I do not like each other, and creating cards in a fast manner is foreign to me. However, to create the card, I die cut a heart-shaped mask to cover my card base (Uno Layero). I used the Ombre Technique to brush/blend on three red inks within the heart. I stamped the floral image over the blended heart and added the "LOVE" sentiment below that (represents my inspiration piece). Lastly, I added a piece of adhesive between the heart and sentiment, placed red foil over the adhesive, and rubbed it onto the card (Bring on the Blitz).
I greatly appreciate any comments and I will respond in kind!

CAS and beautiful, Bev. I think you get along with CAS better than you realized. Your heart/flowers look great and I love that sentiment. Wonderful little strip to divide them, also.

Isn't that cool when it works out so beautifully to do something in one layer if you had not said that, I would have no clue that you did not make all your cards like this. (first cuppa joe is still loading here) I love the foil border and the metal wrought iron look these pieces have Bev.

How pretty, Bev! Love the big red heart & the script of the word LOVE. We're in the same boat..I have trouble w/ CAS as a rule, but sometimes I get lucky

wow, it doesn't look one layer at all, which I think speaks to how well you created this. it's nice to see one layers, it is a challenge. love the ombre.
