I'm not really making a resolution, (the only one I've ever kept was a couple years ago to exercise and lose weight - did it - 45 lbs. gone) but I do want to try to use the many digi and watercolor pieces I've been stashing away. I dug through my box and found this already colored digi, and fussy cut it. Then die cut the word "love" 3 times out of white and once out of the focal piece. Layered the letters, glued in place and covered with Glossy Accents (I think people will want to touch the raised letters so I thought it would be nice if they are smooth). Mounted on white and green mats (both already cut). Looked through my Altoids box of already cut "bugs" and found a purple dragon fly.
You have to look closely to see the sentiment "love" in the photo. IRL it shows up nicely with the aid of the Glossy Accents.

Priscilla, your digi image is gorgeous and colored so beautifully. I do love the way you did the sentiment.

What a clever card! I did see the LOVE after looking closely. I'm sure it's much more noticeable IRL. It reminds me of those pictures that you used to stare at for a long time and then suddenly something else popped up right in front of your eyes. Congrats on the 45-lb loss!
OMW!!!!! This is amazing! The raised and glossed LOVE adds so much interest!!! I KNOW you are right that the recipient is going to want to touch the word. There's something about glossy accents, I just have to touch it!!
