Has Anyone Seen the Remote?

Hello there! We're halfway through the week -- things are moving too fast! Have you ever seen "The Upside Down Show" on Noggin? If you have little ones, you probably know the show. Shane and David ask the kids who are watching to use their imaginary remote control to rewind, slow down, and play the events taking place. Right now I really wish I had a remote with a giant PAUSE button! I could freeze time until I catch up!!

Anyway, I made this card for a neighbor who just had surgery for prostate cancer. I'm sending over a gift certificate to a local restaurant (since I haven't had much time for cooking meals lately!) and some spiced vanilla bread (because there's always time for baking!). :) I combined this week's Color Challenge and Sketch challenge.

To create the background, I used my Scor-pal to make a grid pattern on the Soft Sky cardstock. I scored at 1/4" intervals. The image is stamped in Certainly Celery and Blue Bayou. I distressed the edges and sponged them with Soft Sky ink. I placed the sentiment in a window. First I punched out an opening from the Soft Sky background with my Word Window punch. Then I placed that layer over the Blue Bayou card base and traced the inside of the opening. I stamped the sentiment on Whisper White, punched it out with the Word Window Punch, and adhered it to the Blue Bayou card base over the traced window. I then raised the Soft Sky layer over the Blue Bayou layer with Pop Dots. I embellished with brads and ribbon, and I finished the inside of the card as well.

I'll be spending the next couple days working on projects for the bridal shower -- I hope you'll stop back to check on me!

And if anyone comes across that remote, send it my way, okay? ;)
