Flight of Challenge (365 cards- Day 315(aka 314 part 2))



I wasn't going to do the 365 challenge today, but the challenge was based on an ad (see top photo) and all sorts of things started popping into my head so I went ahead and gave it a whirl. The windmill stamp (Scarlet Empress) came out of the drawer first. That stamp reminded me of a windmill I saw in the Black Forest in Germany years ago. There was no grass, so I had to add it with a stamp (Ann-ticipations). Not having a stool I cut off the back of the chair of the Mary Engelbreit stamp (All Night Media) "The Crab" along with the words. I used brads turned sideways to act as clothespins because I really wanted that 3-D effect of fabric being clipped onto a clothesline. The fence is a piece of paper punched from a Martha Stewart punch.
The sentiments (inside and out) of course were done on the computer. I'm not really sure what this ad was selling (the stool? the poster?) , but this makes a dandy get well card. You can click on the photo of the card if you want to enlarge it so you can read it easier.
