Hugs and Kisses

GPP Street Team challenge this month is to create "love letters"--to be exact, the letters "x" and "o"

---inspired by some of Michelle's hand carved stamps, i cut out some stencil letters in a "gothic" sort of font and used black ink on red cardstock to create both positive and negative images.  i outlined some of the letters and then stamped text here and there...

Maria - I spy Xs and Os like mine, but you have done your own thing with them. VERY COOL! Love the positive/negative effect, and the outlines on some of them. And of course the colors...swoon! Thanks for sharing with the team.

This is wonderful! I love the black on red, so dramatic and . . . yet subtle, too. The gothic is cool and the outline is a nice touch.
