The changing of the seasons. The rising and falling of the sun. The waxing and waning of the moon. All of these are rhythms that we come to depend upon. I have been going through a bit of a crazy travel schedule and it is making me aware of how important rhythm is for me. I recognize that when I hit turbulence the rhythm of my heart changes. When I try to fall asleep in a strange bed in a hotel, the rhythm of my breath changes. When I walk through airports and office buildings, the rhythm of my steps change. The collective effect is that I feel out of tune. When I am home, there is a rhythm to my life that allows me to breathe fully and deeply; to walk in step with my inner drummer; to gently drift into dreams. What are the rhythms of your life? Recognize their importance.
Today's card was another take on a clean and simple card using the Wetlands stamp set. Something about the color combination of Smoky Slate and Soft Sky is very soothing to me. I stamped the image and the sentiment using Staz-On ink and adhered the panel to a Basic Black panel. I then wrapped some embroidery floss around the card and knotted it, before adhering the panel with dimensionals. I hope you like it!
