I recently read a blog post by Ardyth wherein she explained that she had made her card after going through a sequence of thoughts, inspired by the theme of the challenge. That's what happened to me today!
I had been pondering what stamps I could use to make a WT474 WIND theme card. It was warm (yeah!) here today and I was wishing there was a COOL breeze coming in the windows. Since there wasn't, I thought of turning on the fan to circulate the air. Ahhhh, FAN and COOL AIR (wind) and that fan stamp I bought a while ago and have never used. I got it out and made a card. I was glancing at the TV while I made my card and saw a commercial with a COOL Graffiti wall. That reminded me of my distressed brick wall stamp, which led me back to the COOL idea and my Paper Smooch stamps. Hence, my graffiti "You're a Cool Chick" card. SO ... that's the story of my COOL cards.
Thanks for looking!

I'm glad to see it's finally got warm for you over there! And I think a fan is a BRILLIANT idea for this challenge - and it works wonderfully with that crazed image, makes me think of what I think straw-blowing should look like.

What fun to read your thought process, Gabby! And what an even cooler card! I love the splats that carry the breeze straight into the wall...splat, breeze you are going nowhere else!
Art is fun, isn't it??? I love your inspired windy card
