Anniversary

Lots of changes in the past 40 years, but still the same hubby!  Yep--today is our 40th anniversary.  Finally made use of the die cut heart left over from a PTI project in 2015.
The stamping was done with a PTI Watercolor Wonder stamp & 3 blue Distress Inks.  The die cut W&W word was cut 3 times from a scrap inked with the darkest blue.  It's covered with Nuvo Glaze which gives a great, clear sheen. 
There was enough inked cardstock left over to use for the small word which I white embossed & cut with a PTI flag die.  I wasn't happy with the stark white background, so used 2nd generation stamping with IO Cover A Card: Spatter--just what was needed!

Edited to add:  I'm entering SSS Monday, SSS Wednesday & WAW.
