Two things that I really wanted to do - (1) is the challenge of using paints - so I was excited to see that the Ways To Use It Challenge was using paint today - you can find that challenge here: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
The other (2) was to make a card using Acetate - that was an earlier challenge and can be found here: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
Our 24th Wedding Aniversary is on Valentine's Day - I think I'll save this for my DH. What I learned today - that once you stick something to the transparency it's stuck. I also learned that when opening a tube that stands on it's end cap you should turn it upright first and then open it ... i.e. the CTMH Pearl Create A Shade Paint - it was interesting!!
I've stamped with StazOn on the front of the card and then painted behind the word with CTMH White Paint mixed with Bubblegum Re-inker. THEN I remembered I wanted to use my new Pearl Shade Paint mixed in so I scrapped part of the pink away and went over the paint with the Pearl - it gave it a slight shabby chic look....
Thanks for looking!

Totally neat! I love the flowers and their button centers, and I love the little charm that's hanging from the black and white ribbon! Love all the colours and their contrasts here!
