Breathe

Here's a new card I did with inspiration from Dawn's Inspirational Card Sketch blog, sketch #8. It's funny how sometimes I draw a complete blank on a sketch, then suddenly while I'm working on something completely different, suddenly inspiration strikes.

This card feels very "zen" to me, so I will probably send it to someone who's really stressed. I stamped a whole sheet of cardstock (12x12) and will be making more cards to use up the stamped cardstock. I also got a layout using some of the stamped cardstock. Actually, that's what I had originally been working on. Layout is below. :) Stamps are by inkadinkado, ribbon by EK, breathe charm by Tim Holtz.


Oh, and aren't the colors of the cardstock on the card yummy? I found this pack of cardstock at Big Lots, the company is "Nature Preserve" and this is the yellowstone collection. The pack has 5 different earthy colors and I'm quite taken with them. Normally I find neutrals... well... neutral. I'm not a neutral sort of gal. I like colors. But these are lovely. Oh, and the paper is 100% recycled. Awesome! I bought the only two packs left on the shelf.

This is a pretty simple layout. Not what I had planned to do with these pictures at all. But it's okay. The picture on the bottom right is one of my all-time favorites of my son at this age. It's like he's doing T'ai Chi play... know what I mean? :D
