WaltzingMouse Challenge


 The syrup of kindness ... it comes in all forms ... it could just be a smile that somehow makes your day ... a hug when you most need it ... a card or phone call from a friend ... they are all little bits of kindness that we can give ... and in the giving ... we are giving to ourself  ...

I have a card to share that I made for this weeks challenge at WaltzingMouse based on this sketch 
This card didn't come easy ... my creativity seem to have left me this week ... I looked through my WM stamps ... tried a few things ... then discarded them ... disappointed I left it alone for a while ... then I cast my eye over the Rescue Remedies and suddenly it all fell into place ...


I love how these stamps fit so neatly with my SB dies ... I stamped onto cream card stock with brown ink then die cut it and cut a larger die out of canvass to back it with ... I used some gorgeous Bo Bunny paper for the background


A beautiful Prima flower and some pretty pearlescent ones with little pearls just seem to fit ... and believe it or not I had that tassel in my stash ... so my card was born ...
I hope you all have a lovely weekend ...

Keep safe

~ Ros ~
