I have two summer interns who are leaving today. This one is for Fiona, who is a grad student at Columbia. She bought me a little lightbulb knick-knack for my desk because "we're so full of good ideas". So when I saw Dawn's challenge for this morning, I knew I had to use this Bugaboo Digi. Then I read Polly's challenge of using text and got the idea to print the lightbulbs onto a text DP and paint them with acrylic paint. And I pictured a big loosely painted yellow circle behind the lightbulbs. Finally, I've made a card that looks like it did in my head
The paint is a mixture of white acrylic paint, Distress Wild Honey Paint, and the leftover yellow paint from my kids' bedroom walls.
While I was setting up the Digi to print, I was thinking of what sentiment to stamp on this card, but then I got the idea to do a computer generated sentiment of "The Future is Bright". Then I sang "Candida" by Tony Orlando and Dawn the entire time I was putting the card together. Frankly, I'm still singing it.

Terrific card! Love the light-bulbs and text together. The yellow swirl behind and the blue tinting looks great! The sentiment is awesome. So glad making this card caused you to sing! Another reason for song - congratulations on winning a DTGD prize!!!
