I quite had fun making this card. I saw this inspiration card (below) at Muse and remembered that I had bought some Kanban tape measure stamps which to date had not seen ink, so out they came. I also found a piece of card from some packaging which I thought would make great chipboard shapes and so out also came my Movers and Shapers dies.
For the bottom panel, I used the technique from Technique Time Tuesday, (but missed the deadline) which is to colour a piece of card with Distress Inks using sponge daubers and then stamp onto it using a pad made from kitchen towel soaked in water instead of ink.
I used a zig zag stamp which I had removed and separated from a Stampin' Up wheel containing several stitch images. I think it makes quite a subtle effect.
The sentiment is partly from the Alley Way stamps and partly handwritten, you can probably guess which word is which!

Yet another lovely day today, aren't we lucky!
I love that you went with the 'measurement' element on this week's Muse! Thanks for playing along!
