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.
Thanks so much for taking time to stop by. If your blog address is in your profile or comment, I will visit you.
happy 40th and many more!!
