The Craft Barn’s Quotes and Lyrics Challenge is a fabulous one and i hope you come along and play, here is the link.
This challenge asked us to find the words Change or Truth. Really enjoy the research and have found some ‘different’ styles of music and found some wonderful words along the way.
Found this quote by Unknown which i thought is very ‘now’ in terms of our society and how we are all living in a fast paced world. Hope you like it too.
It’s funny how

Used an ICard mop up from Dylusions Sprays, added a doodles border using Posca Pens then added the Unknown quote.
Stamped the man and sentiment from Tim Holtz Visual Artistry set from 2011 in Cornflower Archival ink.
Over on the Paper Artsy blog Katrina used a baby wipe to make her lovely embellishment. I have been using these for ages on journal pages and cutting them up and using as backgrounds. Decided to use one i had mopped up Portfolio Pastels on an earlier project.
Hand cut it into an number 1 shape then used a heat gun to shrink it down, love the slightly burnt edge at the base of the number,adhered to the ICard and then drew a border around it again using Posca Pens.
On the reverse of the card used a Hero Arts background stamp from 2005 and Watering Can Archival ink to add interest and then again stamped the Man and the diamond border. Hand wrote the details of the challenge.
I am also going to enter this into this weeks Paper Artsy Challenge.
Thanks you for dropping by, looking forward to your comments.

Just a quick mention, i am not on Facebook and a few other sites people link from so please know i am unable to leave you a comment even though I always look at these entries and would like to comment.
Really like your mop up card and that quote is really good and like you say very current. I have never thought to save my baby wipes something else I have learnt. Yours looks great on your card. I love the colour too xxx
ReplyDeleteDidn't know that baby wipes shrank when you heat them, makes sense though. Fab take on the theme and really like your "out of the box" approach! X
ReplyDeleteLove your shrunken baby wipe, I get a bit giddy when i take a heat gun to mine I love watching them tighten up lol
ReplyDeleteThose lyrics are great and so true! I love this spread. I have used Baby Wipes in this way, but never shrunk them! I must do this because I love heating things, anything - I'm a total pyromaniac! Burnt edges are just the best! Love the colours on this too! Julie Ann xx
ReplyDeletegreat quote you found, and a fabulous project. I have a pile of used baby wipes ready to do something with one day!
ReplyDeleteVery fine quote... and the mop-up figure 1 is so cool!

ReplyDeleteLove your Quote...your cards are looking so good. :) Must go and have a look at the baby wipe on PaperArtsy....though it could be quite dangerous for me, if burning is involved!! x
ReplyDeleteLove your inspiring quote - it's really very pertinent for today's world... I loved it. I had no idea baby wipes shrink - you know what I'm about to do once I press 'publish' don't you?!!! I think your work is fabulous x
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Didn't know about taking the heat gun to baby wipes!

ReplyDeleteI like these a lot, that no. 1 looks great.
ReplyDeleteWonderful card! I didn't know baby wipes could be shrunk, haven't saved mine yet they tend to look really dark and awful to be honest...
ReplyDeleteWonderful - I have never tried heating my used baby wipes - one to try :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great quote to choose and you've used my favourite stamp - brolly man!
ReplyDeleteBest quote ever for today's world.
ReplyDeleteHow cool, that's a wonderful idea and a great quote.

Looking great! Perfect quote and very true as well...Love the blue background too :-)
ReplyDeleteVery interesting quote--never heard it before. I've learned something new here today as I did not know wipes shrink. I'll definitely be checking that out.
ReplyDeleteVisiting from The Craft Barn - fascinating, i'venot heard that before either. I like your use of the baby wipe. Thanks for the lovely comments you always leave for me :o))
ReplyDeleteYou are right that quote is so "now" things do change so fast these days going to have to try the heat gun on a baby wipe too now, lol.

ReplyDeleteA gal after my own heart. I'm recycling things, too, and I fell in love with your mop up 1. Really like the timeliness of the quote, too.
ReplyDeleteI won't be throwing my baby wipes straight into the bin in future! Great quote and card.
