Love is Kindness

Today is the third Wednesday of the month--so this is my Ready, Set, Go Challenge Card! The 3 of us, Kelly, Jeanette and me, are back with another challenge for August, our 52nd month!  That means we are into year #5 for us-WOW!

I provided the challenge for us this month: Woodstock!  

Today is August 18^th and that was the last day of Woodstock in 1969 (no, I was not in attendance…)   So—the theme is the word Woodstock.  You can think of the 60’s and go that route.  Or music and create a project with that theme.  Or, use part of the word Woodstock and make wood your theme.  Your Card—Your Project—Your Choice!

Have Fun Creating!

I hope you have fun with the theme. Ready Set Go! 

I picked the Wood theme and chose my Stampin' Up Pinewood Planks Dynamic Embossing Folder.  I then used Early Espresso ink and brayered it on the embossing folder before placing Early Espresso cardstock in it.  I like the bit of dark color it added to the woodgrain.  I then picked one of my favorite retired Stampin' Up stamps called Love is Kindness, stamped it with the same Early Espresso in on Very Vanilla cardstock and colored with my Copic Sketch markers.  I think Woodstock was all about Kindness and Love--lots of love from what I heard.......................  I also believe the flowers were a significant part of that time period.  I added some linen thread behind the image and a few tan enamel dots as the added touches.

I think my card is fun and reflects Woodstock in a number of ways.

Here is the inside of my card, with a strip of washi tape:

Please be sure to check out the other Ready, Set, Go cards.  Here is a link to Jeanette's and Kelly's blog.  I am sure you will not be disappointed and will see a couple of great cards! I hope Kelly and Jeanette like my card. Jeanette is up for the next theme, so be sure to check back to see what we are up to on the 3rd Wednesday in September.
