I didn't get any studio time last week, which really throws things off for me. I've been keeping up with Design Team work, but I'm behind on both my 52 Card Pick-up and Heart the Art. However, I am getting some creative time today, which is a blessing.
I skipped ahead to this week's 52-Card Pick-up theme which is the song World by Five for Fighting. I've heard the song lots of times, but this was the first time I really focused on the lyrics … what great words.
What kind of world do you want?
Think Anything
Let's start at the start
Build a masterpiece
Be careful what you wish for
History starts now… 
When I thought about the lyrics, it brought to mind an image of a blank canvas and painting my own world … where everything is fair, just, and beautiful and all basic needs are met. I thought this Tim Holtz sentiment summed it up well.
I stuck with the grungy Cosmo Cricket Get Happy papers and combined them with this weeks CPS Sketch and the Crazy for Challenges challenge to make a card with Red as the predominant color.
The image was stamped in Warm Red and clear embossed. The clear buttons were backed with circles of paper from the Cosmo Cricket collection, and then I used those same colors to highlight the stamped image.
I absolutely LOVE this, Steph! Great design, great sentiment, great papers, great colors – GREAT CARD! I love your take on the inspiration, too – I feel inspired by it, as a mater of fact!
