My Friend Down Under

Hi There,

Today my card was inspired by the 'Down Under' challenge at  Less is More. It was Sarah's card here that gave me a 'light bulb' moment. I remembered I had this stamp and hadn't yet inked it up.

Here is my card:


I have a 'double' down under card here-Sydney city scape being down under from London, and my reflection being down under....yes I know it isn't a real reflection but blink quickly and you don't realise! I made my own heart stencil and sponged a light heart around the cityscape.

As I was making this card I caught myself singing the 'Men at Work' song 'Down Under' and then I remembered the song title challenge at Muse. Michele has set us this fun challenge. I think her song is 'Joy, Joy, Joy down in my Heart'???

I will enter this into:


Enjoy your day x

    What a great mirror technique and clever take on the lim theme. Something I would never have thought of and also why I love visiting other crafters' blogs to get inspiration.

    Great card Sandie, I too was humming the Men at Work song!
    Sorry didn't get here earlier as we were hit by the BT internet outage, arrrgh! Went to my son's and his Virgin was out as well.
    Still better late than never! :)

    This is ingenious for the LIM and Muse challenges, Sandie. I'm 0 for 3 in knowing the songs. I guess I'm too old for this game but I did make a card.

    I remember that song from when I was young! I love this one, even that nowadays I don't listen to pop songs any more....

    Fabulous card, Sandie. That subtle heart is a wonderful touch. I think a lot of us had that song in our heads last week! lol
