This is one of those cards that started out as a very clear image in my head ... of something completely different. It is like walking down a well lit, straight road, making an unexpected left turn, and falling off a cliff. This was supposed to be the acrylic block bg, which I did, with a simple scene stamp added over the bg. I smeared the green, yellow and blue inks on my acrylic block, spreyed with water and pressed my watercolor paper onto it. Then I realized that I really only have about 2 scene stamps, neither of which seemed to work. I started to mindlessly doodle (which I seem to do when something is not working the way I thought) and my scene card morphed into this somewhat 60ish flower power design. Then, for the CAS315 I added the black gingham ribbon for no other reason other than I love black gingham ribbon. I think loosing that hour for daylight savings time has stressed my brain. I want that hour back now... I have enough trouble keeping up without loosing an hour. However, I do like it being light later.
TFL, Francie

Love the bright colors and the terrific image! I don't think the lost hour hurt your creativity a bit!

...sure it�s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?

Wow! Love your 60ish flower. The doodling is fabulous. I have to say I have never been so happy to see Daylight Savings Time.
