I'm Back

We took a few days off last week and went to the beach and to visit family.  It was a wonderful change of scenery.  Even though it wasn't good beach weather, we managed to get a bit of sun, a couple of walks on the beach and a beautiful sunrise each morning.  Then we had a long overdue visit with my in-laws.  I always enjoy their company and we so seldom get a chance to get together.

As soon as I got back I had to check a couple of my favorite challenges.  I got to work this morning on them, but I believe my mojo is still at the beach!  Hopefully it will return soon.  Meanwhile here's the card I did for the One Layer Wednesday challenge that Jennifer is hosting this week.

I was real excited when I saw that the challenge was to  Make a one-layer “New Home” card using at least two colours of ink.  We will be closing on our new home soon and I had copied the picture from the web to do cards letting folks know of our new address.  I hadn't exactly planned on it being a one layer card though!

I used the computer to add the picture and sentiment on a card.  I drew the frame around everything with a ruler and black Stamp n' Write marker.  It looked kind of bare and machine made and needed some stamping with 2 colors of ink.  So I got out the Just Believe stamp set and inked just the foliage from one of the frame stamps to make a semi wreath around the house.

This is probably not what I'll be sending out.  That partial inking takes too long to mass produce!  Besides, I probably couldn't draw a frame that straight again.   I'll come up with more ideas before I'm finished, I'm sure.
