What member of the "claudere" family can refer to a monastery or convent?
( answer at bottom of the post )

My card was deigned around the sketch from:
Inkspirational challenge #17
I began with my background first using a sheet of wax paper that has been inside the bottom of my spray box. To get the background on my card I simply sprayed the surface of the wax paper and then pressed my paper down onto it. I really love this technique!
I then applied the paints to my stamp and then misted it with water to emulate a watercolor effect.
After stamping my flower with Ranger's Distress Paints ( broken china and spiced marmalade ), I used my Fiskar's fingertip knife to cut around one of the flower petals so that I could slide the banner stamped with CARDZTV sentiment under it. I love "sinking" one image behind another, almost as much as I love adding dimension with Helmar's Liquid Scrapdots.

Did you get it right?
1
a : a monastic establishment
b : an area within a monastery or convent to which the religious are normally restricted
c : monastic life
Anyone else thinking of the TV show The Flying Nun?
The misadventures of a nun who can fly and her convent and neighbors. Sister Bertrille could be relied upon to solve any problem that came her way by her ability to catch a passing breeze and fly.
Wouldn't it be lovely is life was this simple again?
