Feeling lyrically inspired for the MIO hop


Welcome to the August My Inky Oasis hop.

        In case you missed it here is a link to Laura's gorgeous creation.

I found this challenge to be a hard but creative one...mostly because I didn't think I had stamps that fit lots of the lyrics I thought of. But eventually I was reminded of Bob Marley's cheerful song "Don't Worry, Be Happy" and picked this verse to illustrate: 


"Rise up this mornin',
Smile with the risin' sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true"

  6. Did you use washi tape for the music or a stamp? Anyway, I'm getting out my Zig markers; you just inspired me!

    1. Hi LJ. I used the Heidi Swapp stamp for the tiny music stamped in orange. The larger music is Tim Holtz's Ideology collection Music Tape in Symphony. It's sort of like washi tape, except it takes ink really well. https://simonsaysstamp.com/product?id=61734 I bought mine in Joann's I believe. Glad you are inspired, enjoy those Zig's :)
