I went pretty literal this time. But knowing I wanted to use the inlaid die cut technique to get my shape extending outside of the solid strip, hearts came to mind. Here's what I did.
2. Die cut the hearts using Simon Says Stamp Large Hearts dies.
3. Removed the hearts and inked them with Shaded Lilac and Dusty Concord.
4. Masked and inked the strip with Tumbled Glass and Peacock Feathers.
5. Splattered the card with Heidi Swapp gold spray ink.
6. Adhered CS panel to inside of card front.
7. Adhered hearts into the negative spaces.
8. Die cut Simon Says Stamp You die from violet glitter CS and adhered.
Hope you likey. A bit late for graduation season, but I think this could make a good card for a gal going off to college or starting a new job.

My shopping in Bend: 'some' restraint *grin* - two packages of Micheal's #110 cardstock (both purchased on a gift card!), Prismacolour pencils (40% off coupon), two embossing folders, a package of cards/envelopes (super clearance cheap), Versafine black ink, tape for my adhesive thing, two TH stencils, Tombow glue and a couple more things. My mobile crafting unit increased this trip...Happy Tuesday!
