I must admit that when I first read this week's OLW challenge, I found it very er .... challenging. But I had promised myself I'd participate in more challenges, and so put the ol' thinking cap on and began perusing my stamps hoping for a light bulb moment of great inspiration. And this was what I came up with. The background stamp is from Stampin' UP! and the sentiment is from DeNami. I used SU! card stock in Kraft on the first card and Going Gray on the second. That's SU! white kraft ink and Colorbox Lipstick chalk ink on the sentiments, and I clear embossed after stamping. (Note to self: Turn off the ceiling fan before sprinkling embossing powder.) Maybe I still have "it" after all :D This card just "feels" good. You know what I mean.Thank you for taking time to visit today.
Hugs,
