Life is Beauty

This one is for D-lish Scraps / The Scrap Suite - DIY Colour  challenge:

Materials

DCWV Palms & Ferns patterned papers
Project Life card {RAK gift}
Grant Studio stamps
Vintage book paper
Ranger Dylusions - Fresh Lime ink spray
Tsukineko Stazon - Black ink
Kaisercolour Miss Nelly jewels

What I did for this challenge:  I used ink spray to colour a vintage book page. I really like how the old paper soaks up the colour so quickly.  Then I stamped a butterfly and some flowers onto the coloured paper with Stazon ink, and fussy-cut the images:

I did an online search and found the poem that this title comes from:

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.

Life is beauty, admire it.

Life is a dream, realise it.

Life is a challenge, meet it.

Life is a duty, complete it.

Life is a game, play it.

Life is a promise, fulfil it.

Life is sorrow, overcome it.

Life is a song, sing it.

Life is a struggle, accept it.

Life is a tragedy, confront it.

Life is an adventure, dare it.

Life is luck, make it.

Life is too precious, do not destroy it.

Life is life, fight for it.

Numerous sources attribute the poem to Mother Teresa, however her 'official' website states it is a false attribution. Regardless of the poet, the words are beautiful!
