I'm a sucker for love stories. Always have. Who remembers Ali McGraw and Ryan O'Neal in the classic 1970 movie? Oh, I cried buckets seeing this while I was in high school. And it still tugs at my heart watching the youTube posting! There is nothing that will make you feel more alive then deep passionate love. And I am heralding it today with my card for the 365 Card Blog challenge Day 112 Everlasting Love.
I have used Cosmo Crickets' lovely paper from the Fleuriste group. I wish I could have this in a wallpaper, I'd redo my master bedroom! I stamped the Browning quote (Technique Tuesday) directly to paper. The peacock mirror stamp is from Tin Can Mail. It has been embossed in Platinum and I used twinkling H2O's to color the feathers. The gorgeous lady is a photo art stamp I inked with VersaFine Olympic onto a Brazzill teal cs. The mirror is cut and popped on foam mounting squares. I did add a bit of fibers at the handle. Along the right side I stamped a music score , embossing with clear on the brown base. To emphasis the sentiment I added a vintage silk green button and a strip of acetate. Near the top, I stamped the Hero Arts memories script stamp, inking it with VersaMagic Seabreeze.
I carried the Love Story in my heart for 16 years until I met my DH. Oh, so romantic and loving. I am blessed indeed. We have two weddings to attend this summer, I can just see making another card like this with the brides picture in it!
Thanks for your insightful comments, they inspire the muse. Happy Saturday!
