I am gonna be honest with you, I have no idea what that word means, but it sounds super peaceful to me. Say it out loud a few times, don't you feel better now??LOL!! Anyway, I made this card last night for the My Favorite Things sketch challenge over on SCS but once I was done I was too tired to post it!! Cindy Haffner hosts this challenge, and always comes up with the most fabulous sketches!! I altered mine a little, because I made my main panel too wide, so I made it a semi-tent card, we'll call it a pup tent(you know, one of those one man ones). LOL!! I stamped the main image from Serenity Now in Black Stazon three times, one on each side of that super cute Cutie Pie paper from SU and once on Whisper White. I paper pieced her outfit and the wallpaper and colored the rest with markers. I paper pierced around the whole main image panel and then added some brads on either side on the main card. I am sure I am gonna get some comments about what Namaste` means, and that would be great, that way I don't have to wonder all day what it means!! Thanks for looking and have a great day!!

ReplyDeleteLOL - so I always say this at the end of yoga and for the longest time I thought it meant I'm at peace or peace be with you or something like that. Recently I've heard that it literally means I bow to you - sort a way to show respect to your instructor...
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I think you card is awesome! Lovely color combo and love all the extras
Gorgeous card.
ReplyDeleteWhile Namaste does literaly mean I bow to you and is used as a way of showing respect to one's instructor in yoga, it's also used in other ways. I have a friend who is wiccan and uses this word as a way of signing all her emails and text messages - to wiccans it means 'The Divinity within me perceives and adores the Divinity within you' - which is kinda nice really.
Love your altered version with the tent topper!
ReplyDeleteWow! I love the colrs and how you paper pieced her yoga outfit to match the card. Just so cute!! Love the layout too.
ReplyDeleteSuper card - love the colors and the sketch is awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteOMG! I just love how you paper pieced the main image, AND stamped the main image on another pattern! Too cool !!!!
ReplyDeleteI love this card and paper piecing with Cutie Pie dp. It's funny how many meanings - similar but different for Namaste there are. I have a new yoga exercise tape and the instructor said "The light in me, recognizes the light in you" was the meaning.
