Because the world needs some kindness
Happy Thursday!
Our world has so much hate in it today, we need a little more kindness. This card is for a grandmother I have never met, who is having to go into a nursing home and she just needs pick me up. She told my friend, after seeing that she had mailed out cards, I didn't think people did that anymore, so we are going to bombard her with some handmade kindness.
To make my card I started with a white A2 card base and a panel cut with the Silly Stitched die from Lil' Inkers, I stamped my floral image from the April my Monthly Hero kit from Hero Arts on a scrap piece of yardstick and colored it with Copic Markers RV55, RV63 and RV66 for the flower and YG03, YG41, YG45 and BG75 on the leaves. I added some sequins from Pretty Pink Posh and silver thread to embellish but still be mailable.

Such a gorgeous card Ceal. Your work with Copics is AMAZING! You have really brought this bloom to life with your expert colouring and shading. Perfect mix of elements to go with your bloom from the stitched borders to the gathering of threads. Very sweet of you to send off this "pick me up" to someone who is going through a tough time. You kindness will go a long way to easing the situation for her. And thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up! xx

ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, I bet she thinks its the best thing ever. Can just imagine the smile on her face. My mum and Dad are waiting to go from retirement village to nursing home as they have dementia both and I am finding the simple things like a card in the mail mean so very very much to them. God bless you for doing this. Hugs aileen
