Friends, I LOVE this card.
I wanted a way to put together the new Lawn Fawn Pull and Pop that didn't require me to run a cardstock piece through the middle of my card. This is it!
I made this as a pastel Easter card for the Colorful Options challenge in April, but you could do this with any colors, stamps, or dies. But please check out Colorful Options. I love this challenge. It is seemingly simple, but as someone who struggles with color, it challenges me to work outside my very narrow comfort zone of blues and purples. Again, this month, the color is "pastel" so there's lots of room to create.

So no, I don't know why the Grip is called the Grip (and I made a deliberate choice not to find out). I don't know if the name has anything to do with malachite, or with a cushion case, or link with the jump hour link complication, or why this particular watch combines an extremely traditional case shape and material (and sertissage, or gem-setting) with faux-retro '70s idiom pseudo LCD fonts for the numbers. But link you know what? Sometimes the question a watch answers isn't "why," it's WHY NOT.
For link a modern take on a pilot watch, it's hard to argue for anything but a font like this. The numerals are big and bold, but link as with most things pilot's watch, this is explained by one word: legibility. A date sits at 6 o'clock, just beneath a horizontal line which is meant to recall the artificial horizon instruments on a plane's dashboard, designed to help the pilot understand link their orientation relative to the Earth's horizon.
This is adorable, Sara! I'll be waiting to spy that video on Wednesday. Vicki, Colorful Options DT Member
