Aren't those words so true, but not always easy to do! In our lives we all have things that are just to heavy to hang on to and in order to go forward, we have to "Let Go." When this plate from Artistic Outpost came out, "
Chalkboard Wisdom." this of all sentiments hit me hard and hit home! Anyway, this is one of those sentiments that is truly worth putting up all over the place!! Will be linking this up to Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog "
Say It With Stamps."
I inked manila card stock with Squeezed Lemonade and Wild Honey and then embossed it with a Cuttlebug folder and a Diffuser, for an inset. I could have just stamped in the oval un-embossed center, but I decided I wanted a little more dimension, so cut an oval from manila and inked and stamped using Black Archival.
Using two of the Spellbinders oval frames, I cut a black panel. The butterflies were cut using dies from Cheery Lynn. This was an easy card to make as I wanted the focus to be on the sentiment.
This is the start of a brand new month and that means the new "
October Referral Program" at Artistic Outpost, so I hope you will ink up some of those AO stamps and join in the "anything goes." Thank you for stopping by today and have a great finish to the week!
The card is so amazing, love the florish textured background. The middle circle and the butterflies and the sunny colors are amazing.

Just saw this over at AO, and it's so lovely, Terry. Such a warm glow of late summer sunshine, and the embossed framing looks really elegant. Lovely work.
