WT1100 Day by day

Photo Details

Poster: stampingwriter

Nancy is asking us to use wise words in this week's Ways to Use It challenge. I found out that Abraham Lincoln advised taking life one day at a time. (I actually checked, and this quote is indeed attributed to him.) The quote comes from an old Club Stamp set, which also includes the images of a watch and key, which I stamped in Versamark on the kraft panel. I also found an old piece of patterned paper with watches and keys on it that goes perfectly with the sentiment and stamped images. The edges of the panel are sponged with Antique Linen ink, then run across the Versamark ink pad, then dipped into gold EP and heated to add a little shine. USEIT2026 items are the stamps (a good 15-20 years old) and patterned paper.

These are some very wise words, Sandy! Great paper and images to use with it too. Abe Lincoln was very wise - I love reading about him and it doesn't surprise me he said this. Super card. Hugz

Great quote and a lovely way to portray it with things related to time, Sandy. Wonderful vintage feeling colors.

Terrific quote, and well paired with the clock images.

Awesome that you found paper to match your stamp set. Great quote.

The vintage time‑themed elements come together beautifully here. The layered watches and keys create such a cohesive story around the sentiment, and the soft kraft panel with the subtle Versamark stamping adds great depth without overwhelming the focal point. The gold‑edged embossing is a perfect finishing touch — just enough shine to elevate the design while keeping the overall feel warm and thoughtful.

Such a true sentiment. I really like your clock face and key. The key reminds me of the one my Dad used to wind the grandfather clock each week.
