CASology: Week 71: BELL

This card was made for Week 72 at CASology.  The cue word is bell and I searched through my stash of stamps and found two.  The first stamp was two bells and although I worked on an idea it was nothing special.  My second choice was this old SU! stamp with a bell tower.  This colored image was my fifth attempt, four were on water color paper, one was stamped with gray ink on white cardstock and this piece was stamped on glossy paper using Stazon.  Next I colored using SU! markers and a water brush, and die cut with MFT pierced square.  The white cardstock was dry embossed using Cuttlebug's Script folder and I attached the colored image using pop-ups.  My base cardstock is SU! tempting turquoise.

Last week my MOJO was missing with the cue word of triangle.  I worked on four different ideas and they all stunk - really.  When I viewed the winning entries all I could think is why was I struggling.  The answer: the time change.  Really, I am still struggling with the dang time change, this body is too old to go back and forth and it is almost as bad as coping with jet lag.  Even though this card did not come easy I am satisfied and I have always loved this very old SU! set.
