I wrestled in my head....pay bills, make a card......pay bills, make a card......Well I guess make a card won. Here is my plain and simple card for today's challenge. Good day for a plain card with the site acting up and all..........details................
I don't normally put sentiments on my cards. I was going to do the newspaper thing, but it started taking some time. I opened one of my stamp boxes and this one jumped out at me. It already had a sentiment, which works for today's challenge, texting. It says: A walk in the rain is fun when you share your umbrella with a friend. Cool, huh.
I stamped it on white cs that I gesso'd yesterday clear ep it. Colored with re-inkers. Took a brush and did a messy color wash around image. Tore the top and bottom edge to make it look like I ripped it out of a magazine or something.
Took a picture and thought this is way to plain and so not me. So back to the craft table, added my signature doodled edges and retook the photo, smudging parts of the picture. Don't know how that happened! Oh well. Gives it a more authentic w/c look, don't' you think? LOL
Well, now I must pay bills. Will be back later........TFL :0)

what! You DIDN'T rip this out of a magazine!!?? You could have. I have a photo that looks just like it taken on a rainy day in the French Quarter of New Orleans. I think you did a great job and hope you got all your bills paid.

I knew you wouldn't do your book work. I am glad you didn't though. This is so soft and soothing. I am not used to you doing muted colors but I love it. love the background paper too. tfs.

What's a QAS anyway? Ooooh, a much simpler card today I see. Slacking off maybe? Love your image. BTW, when you're paying your bills do you suppose you could write one to me. I've been waiting for that 752.34 for several months now. I think I've been way generous with my time, but my patience is starting to run out!
