LIM284 "Take Time"

This week's challenge over at

"Less is More"

is a one layer card with a "time" theme.

OLCs are so not my faves but I try.

I wanted to use something other than

clocks as it seems most think of these

with this sort of challenge.

So I went with a stencil by 

memorybox "Texture Shine"

I masked off some to keep that desired

white space and sponged Distress inks

"Mustard Seed" and "Spiced Marmalade".

The verse stamp is by MFP and those

tiny speckles are a stamp by Judith

(to hide a smudge of course).

Be sure to check out

to see all the nifty ideas there!

Playing again at CAS(E) this sketch!  Here is the

sketch I am going for:

I stamped the bird (MFP) on the 

tree (Judith) and then stamped the

verse (MFP) and added a die cut

of a bird (die by Die-versions).

As CAS as it gets!!

And here is a photo of a hillside in our cattle pasture 

covered with Pasque (May) flowers which are our state flower 

here in South Dakota.

A bit hard to see the diminutive flowers peeking out from

beneath a canopy of last year's grass but hope you can

visualize an entire hillside blanketed by them!

Thanks for stopping and

Happy Mothers Day to all you Moms out there!

Feel Better

Today my card is for the layout challenge over at

CTS#23

and here is my take on it:

I followed the layout pretty close as you can see, but

I "cheated" a little bit.....

I cut paper into strips and over-stamped the verse.

But it skipped between the paper so I used my 

trusty fine line Copic marker to fill in missing spots.

(Reason I did all that was because none of my 

one-liner stamps fit on a strip...fit good

enough that I didn't mess it up trying anyhow)

The verse is by Stamps By Judith

and floral die is by Magnolia

Thanks for stopping!

Hokey Pokey Card

This quick and easy card is from my "stash".

I guess I am still not interested in 

creating so soon after my brother passed away.

I stamped the verse on a paper scrap and ripped

around the words.  Then I set that scrap

in the center and sponged inks around the rest.

I stamped the dancers and removed the mask and stamped

the verse.

All stamps are by Stamps By Judith

Thanks for looking.
