Hello everyone: Each time there is a sketch or a theme where you are asked to do 3 of something, my mind immediately gets flooded with images of the sport I love, TRIATHLON so, it's no surprise that when I saw the challenge theme over at "Less is More" I jumped in with this card.
Triathlon season is starting soon and the granddaughter of one of my Tri friends is doing her first. It's one of the smaller races but it's the perfect way to build confidence, strength, endurance, courage and the mental fortitude to participate in this fabulous sport. This card will be mailed to Debbie a couple of weeks before her race in June, wish I could be there to cheer her on but she lives in Spokane, WA. So I went looking for a logo I could easily sketch and this one jumped at me, I love the fact the three disciplines are enclosed in a circle, to me, it means the incredible connection between all of them.
With this logo on my screen I used a pencil to lightly sketch the images, they are very simple as you can see, the trick was to create the lines for separating the three spaces so I took a piece of Vellum and traced the lines then, transferred them onto my paper. I sponged a bit of distress inks and filled the images with a black marker.
The word "Just" is from a Power Poppy set called "Everything's Even Rosier", I masked the other word and stamped it. The word TRI is stamped using the MISTI and a set of letters from Avery Elle.

This is how the INSIDE of my card looks like.
The sentiment is from a Power Poppy set called "Orchids Rock" and the stars and word a the bottom from a graduation set from Fiskars.
I'm playing along with the following challenges.

I absolutely love your card and the story behind it. This is just so thoughtful! To make sure you are entered in the JFF "Movement" challenge, something on your card should wiggle, jiggle, slide, roll, flip or fold. Would you share what part of your card moves? Wendy DT JFF Stamps
