It's the start of a new challenge at Ike's World and this time we'd like you to do something which really expresses the "YOU" of you - in other words, "Be You." Remember, we're always an "Anything Goes" challenge and the theme is jut an option you can follow if you choose .
Nothing is more 'me' than being in nature. In my younger days, I was most alive when I was camping or backpacking in the woods so this "Rockies" image from Ike's Canada Bundle in her World Tour series is a perfect reflection of that. The psalm I used for the sentiment is my favorite Bible verse so it's another thing which is definitely "me."
I colored the image with ProMarkers and white gel pen, die cut it with a rectangle die from Spellbinders, and mounted that onto the piece with the sentiment. I added it to a layer of torn and distressed CS, wrapped the ribbon and tied the bow, then put it all onto a white card base, leaving the design rather CAS. Although this is a card perfectly showing "me being me," I think it also makes a great masculine card.

I hope you're going to come play in our challenge this fortnight and show us what makes you "you." That's such a broad theme, you'll be able to do almost anything with it. Happy Stamping. NanaConnie
