Today I have a card to share that was made for the sketch challenge at Mojo Monday, the SUO Challenge to use anything Sizzix (SUO Challenge blog), and this week's color challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers. SCS is honoring the beloved retiring Stampin' Up colors Not Quite Navy, Baja Breeze and River Rock. I am very, very sad to see Baja Breeze be retired because it is one of my favorite blues. Evah. And Not Quite Navy is the perfect match to it as a darker blue. But I stocked up with enough supplies that should carry me forward until I turn my fickle affections to another light blue sometime down the road (Soft Sky? Pool Party?)
Anyway, you came to see my card, so I should probably get around to showing it to you.
Here's the Mojo sketch:
When I saw this sketch I immediately thought of the little stamps from Postage Due. I had fun using my markers to color them, and then I decided to add the Designer brad with the flower from Collage Curio in the center for a bit of additional interest.
The sentiment is one of my favorites (sorry the twine is covering it up a bit in this shot). It's one of those small phrases I utilize on those days when things don't seem to be going well, to remember to be present in every moment and embrace all that life offers, even when it's a bit of a challenge.
I pulled out my old Print Pattern background stamp, inked it up with River Rock and used it on the same color card stock for the bottom panel.

Well, time to run. It's a lovely, sunny day here and there are lots of things to get done. Thanks so much for taking a look and I hope you have a moment to leave me a comment; I'd love to hear from you!
Hugs,
Stef
