This is my card for Ardyth's HYCCT1218 challenge. She wants us to make a project inspired by one (or more) of the 4 main Vital Signs : heart beat (pulse), temperature, blood pressure and breathing.
I decided on the breathing. When the doctor or nurse takes your vitals they are always telling you to take a deep breath or breath in and breath out.
My sentiment is from a stamp by Great Impressions - life is not measured F252. To keep the measuring theme I used some dsp from SU- the "fan fair" collection.
My card colors are island indigo and rich razzleberry. The layout is this week's sketch #145 from Pals Paper Arts.

Mary - I love your link between breathing and the measuring tape on your background - so clever! Thanks so much for playing along with my Vital Signs challenge!

I kept wondering how you would represent breathe and totally forgot about this marvelous saying. Great thinking and fabulous card.
