Our 45th anniversary is next month, so that's probably why I focused on the white heart dishes. Perfect inspiration for hubby's card! 
Alex Syberia Quirky Hearts die set worked great for my idea of having a raised edge since the bowls inspired me. Luckily, this card doesn't have to be mailed as I stacked the hearts 5 high! The center solid heart was covered in white pigment ink and embossed with WOW Ultra High Clear powder multiple times! Since I didn't use chipboard, it bent a little and cracked when I tried to make it flat. But I just kept adding layers of ink and powder until it was repaired.
The background is Alex Syberia Tiny Hearts Cover Die which I spritzed with Distress Mica Stain Wicked Elixir and Hero Arts Ocean Blue Metallic Spray, since hubby likes blue and green. SSS Love die set is a favorite and was the right size. Debated about stamping a subsentiment, but decided to use Memory Box Parker Lower Case Alphabet dies with the same green cardstock I used for love and the mat. Usually I make hubby's card a couple days before our anniversary, so feels good to have it done in plenty of time. Plus, I think he will really like this one. You can find all the challenge details and lots of inspiration from my teammates and our guest designer on the blog.
