Good morning...
I hope you enjoyed the Easter weekend and maybe some chocolate?
When I lost my best friend 18 months ago, I kept in touch with her niece and right now she's going through a really rough patch so today's card is one I made for her.
It also has a little paper piecing so I'm sharing at the CAS Mix Up Challenge
I drew the little bird and painted her with watercolours. The boots are a digital stamp which I paper pieced
... and covered in dimensional gloss. The umbrella was die cut first from card, then from the same paper as the boots
The hills as always, were done with torn paper and black soot distress ink and the sentiment from a very old set by Precious Rememberance was stamped and embossed
I'm kinda sorry to part with her but I know she will bring a little cheer to my friend
Well the sun has made an appearance - it's really cold, but still it looks beautiful outside
Have a lovely day and stay well

A beautiful card Ros which hits al the right notes and am sure will be much appreciated.
Love the glossy wellies! Same weather here - beautiful blue sky but frrrrreezing cold! x
Awwwwwwwww...what a sweet, sweet card Ros and it's sure to cheer up your friend! It definitely brought a smile to my gray and rainy morning! (Not going to complain though as we just had 4 days in a row of sunshine and beautiful temps in the 50's and 60's!! Take care my friend! Hugs. :0)
Oh Ros, the cards we want to keep are the ones that should be given away - I can imagine your friend's niece will really love it more!
Just loving this little bird with her matching rainy weather ensemble!

Oh my, Ros...Your friends niece is going to love and treasure your sweet bird card, because it was created by her aunt's best friend. A wonderful gift of kindness, my friend. I love your scene and paper pieced umbrella and boots for your fluffy cute birdie. So pleased you joined us at CAS Mix Up. Love and Hugs...Nancy
Awww, a sweet little bird to brighten her day. Sometimes that's all it takes. It's so cute how you paper pieced the umbrella and boots to go with your beautifully illustrated and softly feathered friend. Absolutely sweet and adorable, Ros. Thank you so much for sharing in our CAS Mix Up gallery!
This is so lovely, the umbrella and shiny paper pieced boots are just perfect. Your friends niece will really treasure this card. Thanks for joining us at CAS Mix Up too xx
Another one of your gorgeous hand drawn images Ros and love the added umbrell and boots so beautifully paper pieced and love the glossy boots and the little drops of rain on the umbrella, and the background hills go beautifully. Your late best friend's niece will be really cheered by this wonderful card. x
Great card and I'm sure it will brighten up her day. Love your little puddle jumping duck ♥
The little bird with the matching umbrella and boots is just too darn cute, Ros! Wonderful background with the soft clouds, too! I’m sure your friend’s niece will treasure the beautiful sweet card!!
What a piece of art. Your green hat is my fav, and the water on the umbrella.
FANTASTIC and I have no doubt it will bring a big smile to your friend's face! Just adorable! Such a difficult time in life right now for so many! I'm sure glad I have my craft to occupy my mind.
The weather has warmed up this week (in the 70s) and I've been spending my afternoons (along with hubby's help) preparing some new flower beds and plantings. He says I'm trying to turn our wooded area into a PARK ... I told him I didn't see anything wrong with that! LOL It's coming along! Have a fabulous week my friend and thanks for always sharing a smile and inspiration with all of us!
Ros I love your art work - always so sweet!

She is adorable and I'm sure will lift your friend's spirits! How could she not with that beautiful umbrella and snazzy boots? We're having a dose of summer here. Very warm and the pollen has covered our world in a thick coat of yellow!
A darling of a card and so creative Ros. A thoughtful card for her and it will, I am sure, bring a smile to her face x. Yes I would want to keep this too x.
Adorably cute~cute~cute! Surely will cheer up anyone! We had two days of 80s here, just enough to spoil us for wanting more!
Awwww .... this is so cute. I love the little bird in his paper pieced wellies. Thank you for playing along at CAS Mix Up!
Adorable card that is sure to brighten your friend's day, Ros. What a lovely sentiment to send to a friend in need. As always, you make my day with your wonderful hand-drawn cards. The paper pieced umbrella and boots are just perfect to add some brightness. Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up! xx
What a beautiful precious card to send to your friends niece. I know this will lift her spirits and something she can treasure as well. I know what you mean about parting with certain cards, and I struggle with that as well, but you know what, if you love it that much, you can just imagine how the recipient feels, and besides you can always make another. You have such a wonderful soul, my friend, take care, hugs,
Your creativity always makes me smile! This is such a special card and I'm sure your friend will appreciate it 💕
Sweetest little bird ever! Just love the matching boots & umbrella! I know your friend so appreciates your kindness, Ros!
Oh wow, that card is a winner and I would have been hesitant to send it, too. But it must have been treasured by your friend's niece. That warm yellow does more than a thousand words to comfort a soul.
