Sometimes all one can do is take the day moment by moment...so I hope this speaks to Pam. I used yesterday's sketch. My most favorite way of creating is to find a stash background, hopefully gorgeous and do some simple stamping on top of that. 'Let the background speak for itself' is my motto. I wish I could remember exactly how I did this; I think it might be alcohol ink and alcohol lift ink on a gel plate but not sure. Life is a mystery. And I will never tire of heat embossing and using Nuvo Drops or Liquid Pearls. Thanks for the challenges!

I love using already made pieces I have.....this is lovely Jean. Those pink flowers are a pick me up. I agree with you on the day by day, moment by moment ...that's all you can do.

gorgeous. I can never get my Nuvo drops nor liquid pearls to come out with this perfection. I think I gave up on trying to use them in small areas like this... just can't get the hang of using them. That background is great... I like the idea of picking a background and going from there: I do the opposite, create a die and then try and figure out what kind of a background to use. I think I'll try your method and see if that might help me with my decisions. Great card !

And, I am enjoying every moment of this beautiful card. I love your bg and agree with Sabrina that it's too bad you don't remember how you made it. I can see why you chose it to feature those lovely blooms. Your nuvo drops in the center are fabulous. I love the look of an open stamp and I love your philosophy "let the bg speak for itself". Beautiful card. Beautiful sentiment and one for all us to remember and live by.
