365 Cards: Day 42

Stampin' Saturday

So, the challenge of the day was to stamp your own background. I must admit I have never done this before (and I don't have a huge amount of stamps to choose from) so I selected this nice and big 'eternal love' stamp and stamped in cerise using a Rubber Stampede ink. I was tempted to frame this in silver but then I stamped the sentiment and really liked the bright colour on white alone, so I stuck with it. I then raised the sentiment using 3d foam pads and added matching pink gems in each corner.

In case you can't read the sentiment it says: " Forever: For always and endlessly forever now". The text forming the heart surrounding 'eternal love' is: "1. Without beginning or end: everlasting 2. Never changing 3.Never stopping: eternal."
