The Secret of Life is...

...enjoying the passing of time.  What a poignant sentiment from James Taylor, and the focus of my card today.  I think I'll make a bunch of these up in varying color themes for loved ones!  I think it'll make a great card for birthday, thinking of you, anniversary, even sympathy.

This one features our color combo from the latest challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments. 
I love this stamp - as I was fussy cutting the layer in the center I was marveling at the elegant swirls and wishing I had the graphic talent that the artist that created this stamp has! 
The color combo had me scratching my head a little - a lot of brightness here!  But once I decided on a rather rustic theme, I think the blue and orange were nice touches.  The Tangerine Tango in a trio across the front is a nice little punch of sunshine!
Do you see potential in this color combo?  Head on over to HSS to get some inspiration and play along!  Thanks for stopping by!

  1. Oh! This is great!!! I love the idea of using the wood stamp on an usual color - so different, but fantastic looking!
