Challenge Me Happy

"If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't."
 

Today I have a card to share that I did for a fun challenge going on over at Challenge Me Happy. It is a recipe challenge... your project must have the following ingredients:

1. quote

2. stamping

3. birds

4. arrows

5. brads

Here is my card:

 

Look close at the music notes... notice anything?

They are backwards!

This stamp is from Stampers Anonymous, Tim Holtz - Seasonal Reflections stamp set. They are made to do some pretty neat "reverse" stamping techniques, but I thought backwards would be perfect for this card.

 

When I read that one ingredient had to be a bird, I knew just the stamp I wanted to use.... My nee Flourish Bird, Large - from 100 Proof Press. I love this bird! I added some Stickles, (in Crystal), to really make in sparkle!

 

The arrows used for journaling were made using a stamp from Cocoa Daisy.

 

Distress Inks & Archival Ink is what I used on this card.

 

My card was inspired by a song from Shinedown, "Her Name is Alice".

 

There is lots of stamping & on this card. I created this one night this week when I couldn't sleep. You know when you are lying there, but your mind is going a mile a minute and you just have get up and do something....?
