I've dedicated my week to share inspirational messages and remind ourselves of our imperfection, strength and beauty.
This card means a lot to me, not only because it is made with a beautiful kit called Falling into Place, but because I really believe in this sentiment from my heart, and from own experience. I believe that when you think that the events happening to you in life are tearing you apart, they might actually being a preparation for other events, and at the end it all makes sense. It's amazing how life is... and I truly believe in this.
I always had in my mind to apply a puzzle somehow to this sentiment because it really express the falling apart idea, and the pieces coming together to give you light...
I stamped the image in white cardstock, and colored with watercolor pencils from Kimberly. I then cut it into pieces with a Darice cutting die using my Cuttlebug machine, inked the edges (messy on purpose because the pieces that you put back in place are not new anymore...they have lived)... and then placed in a background cardstock re-assembling the image. I stamped the sentiment of the Falling Apart vs Falling into Place idea and added some pearl dots for a finishing touch.
Hope you like it, and somehow be inspired or comforted.
Remember you should also visit my Facebook and Instagram pages to see more photos and a quick FF video of the making... It'll be fun. I will be enjoying your comments.
One more post to go tomorrow.
