Black Eyed Susan Sympathy

I recently got a few of the Impression Obsession Cover-a-Card background stamps and one that really caught my eye was the Black Eyed Susan one. So today I am showing a card I made with that background.

I put the stamp into my Misti and then inked it up with blue inks and stamped the design onto white card stock. I did this several times to get a fairly good coverage of the blue. Then I took the Life Changing Blending Brushes and added my color into the design. Once it was colored to my satisfaction I then die cut the panel using a MFT Die-Namics Wonky Stitched Rectangle Stacker die. I then placed it to a panel of Gina K. Designs Dark Chocolate card stock before placing it on the white card base. The last thing I added was the Tonic Studios Heartfelt Sympathy die.

I am entering this in the following challenges:
Dies R Us Challenge #118-Anything Goes
Simon Says Wednesday Challenge-Anything Goes

PERSONAL NOTE:

Yesterday we had some excitement at our farm. Our dog was barking up a storm and so when my husband went to investigate he saw a young man walking into the yard. He was Hispanic and of course, he did not speak English and my hubby did not speak Spanish. But finally the young man pointed towards the road below our house and then my hubby saw what he was trying to tell him. 

His car was on fire. So my hubby and he went with a fire extinguisher to try and put it out but the extinguisher did not work so my hubby then called the fire department out. In the meantime, this man's lady passenger was out in the field far away from the car as she was scared of it exploding. So my husband took both of them into his pickup and they parked far enough away until the fire department came. By the time the department got there the car was fully engulfed in flames. But it sure did not take them long to extinguish the blaze. However by that time the car was a total loss.

And, to top it off there was a small explosion which scared our dog and she ran off to the neighbors home. He was so kind to bring her back to us and of course, keep an eye on all the excitement going on. Another lady arrived to pick up the couple and she and her little daughter could speak some English so that helped with communication. 

Anyway that was an exciting evening for us. I am so glad no one got hurt. Apparently the young man was the nephew of the lady and he was teaching her how to drive a car. And they chose to practice on the country roads where there was not so much traffic to contend with.

Well, thanks for the visit. I hope your week is going well.

God bless,
