Words to Live By......

Hello everyone: I'm late posting this simple card, got caught up with the usual "fun" activities at home.....meaning laundry, prepping my meals for the next 4-5 days, separating, vacuum packing, labeling, etc.

So, here's my card.

The sentiment is by Hampton Art, very old, I heat embossed it in gold.

I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder for the front panel and I sponged the musical notes with some distress inks.

The little charms are ancient!!! They were silver so I painted them gold.

*********************************************************

This is how the INSIDE of my card looks like.

The sentiment is from a retired SU set called "Whimsical Words".

I'm playing along with the following challenges.

Less is More

Typography.

Double D Challenges

Focus on the sentiment.

Addicted to Stamps Challenge

#177 "For a Lady or a Girl"

Thank you for stopping by, your comments always make my day.
