Hey there! Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. I'm back with a short post for a card I created for the current challenge at Time Out. It's an Inspired by Words challenge: "With each sunrise we are given a chance for a new beginning."
Last week, I went CAS with an almost one layer card. This time around, I went with an artsy, grungy, messy one layer card. I did a little brainstorming and word association: a new beginning to me means a fresh start; a fresh start means having the opportunity to follow what makes the heart happy -- essentially following one's bliss :o) I stamped the daffodils (Large Narcissus) using Marabu Art Crayons first and then did some random stamping of the butterflies (Butterfly Row). I layered some rub-ons (7Gypsies) to create a grungy collage look and sponged pumpkin pie HA ink over the images. And last, I stamped the sentiment from Typografia.
