This is for Stacy's challenge to show love without using a sentiment on the front of the card. I thought of this fun image and went from there. I retried the Out of the Box technique thanks to Polly who sent me a link for the technique that helped me carry it out better. I stamped my image and embossed in black. I cut my paper with the size circle I was going to use to cut the image and traced through my template with a pencil. I used snips to cut the piece that would be out of the box and into the circle just a bit so that the die would fit properly. I die cut the circle and then sponged my sky using a scallop circle as my mask. I used ink from the lid of my ink pad to color my car first, but then went over the already wet area with my marker to make it darker. I went over the license plate a few times trying to obscure the word "love" on it to meet the challenge. I colored my tin cans with a silver marker and added some sparkle to the brides veil. Layered onto a red mat then added a crumb cake circle behind.

Gail, you nailed four challenges (isn't this today's sketch as well?) The SWEETEST wedding image and these colours look fabulous, the sponged cloudy sky plays along with the Coastal Cabana so well!
Your card most definitely says love. Great image for today's HYCCT challenge.
