Hello! I am so glad you are here! Today is the fifth Sunday of the month and that means it's time for a special challenge at Anything But a Card Challenges. Any time a month has five Sundays we do a 'five' challenge. Your creation can have the number five, five embellishments, five stamps, five anything! As long as it has something to do with five and is NOT a card, you're good!
I decided to do another page in my quotes journal and used five flower stamps to create my garden. I found a quote by Hemingway "When you stop doing things for fun you might as well be dead." and I thought this was a great reminder to not take life so seriously. I also wanted to make a fun page to go with the quote so out came the bright colors and a stamp set that I have not used in a very long time. I had a lot of fun using the blender pen to 'paint' the flowers and the butterfly. I also used pastels to create the sky.
I hope that you decide to do something for fun and join us in our Five Challenge! Have a wonderful week!
