Just add Faith.... and nothing will be impossible... what ever your dreams, ambitions, goals be even if they are the size of a mustard seed. Just add Faith and anything becomes possible.
My cards are sometimes like that. I see what I have in my head, or I see a inspiration but on paper its blank.... but then I start playing around.. and grab a ink pad and a stamp... and its like magic.
I am not artistic by any means... what I mean by that is I can't paint a painting just by looking at a scene like certain people here in blog land... but I am crafty I can put something together and make it look kosher. Is that decorating? Do I decorate cards? Maybe.. but I do have a little faith that I make someone smile with them.
even if it is myself.
I used for this card die cut Frames by Simon says stamp, a tag die cut from Tim Holtz, a circle from Quickutz, bird dies from Impression Obsession. A stamp I have had in my stash for 25 years... ( I kid you not )
I inked it up with honey mustard ink from Tim Holtz and a few topic markers.

the challenge is to try a new technique...
the challenge here is to use a new technique. I learned in a class to create your own embellishments. I tried it on my string... I colored it with my copic markers.. it was white. :)

Louise I am glad I am you keep them LOL.. I have stamped all mine so the image is in a catalog and I go through my catalog quite often.. :) I am afraid to count how many I have.
DeleteThis is a great card, LesLee. The bold mustard yellow is so striking against the white background, and the quote is fabulous. Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink this week!
ReplyDeleteThose yellow birds are adorable! Lovely card.
ReplyDeleteWell those birds definitely made me smile LesLee! Thanks for joining us this week at Just Add Ink. I love how you framed your tag with all those intense bright elements.
ReplyDeleteVery inspiring, LesLee! Thanks for joining us at As You See It Challenges. To help us out, could you let us know what your new technique was?
ReplyDeleteHello Heather... sorry about that. I updated my post. My new technique is that I colored my string to match my card with comic markers. I learned it in a class and have seen Tim Holtz do it with ribbon.
DeleteYou certainly have put a little smile on my face seeing those three pretty little birds and with such a lovely little sentiment!!
