FYI LOVE and Q

For Your Inspiration has the most beautiful photos to work with.



I was inspired to make this:






FYI #13




Paris makes me think of love.


Love makes me think of complicated layers.


I hope the card is self-explanatory. ;)




I think of our bodies as cages holding our souls...


 Your "cages" are tethered together...



.... two individuals glued together to create one.



The longer you're a couple,


the more layers you may peel back and reveal.


At some point, you lose track of where one life begins and the other ends.




You can't go back to two separate lives.



Love cannot be erased.


It can only be torn away.


Your life will always have that love in your history.



Did you get all that? ;)



I really enjoyed creating the layers for this...rolling it back, flipping it over and stamping, and adding the chain with beading.






Thanks for peeking in. ;)
