Hello friends. How are you doing? It is back to
being sunny and hot in Southern CA. We didn't really get much of the
cooler weather this year. We hit February and March with hot temperatures
already. I love the 50's and 60's. What is your favorite time of
the year? I would have to say that Spring is my favorite; with everything
blooming and nature coming alive with so many awesome colors.
It's time again for another Art by Miran Anything Goes Challenge 54. I decided to use this fabulous Art by Miran Whimsy Stamp Calantha image. I love Whimsy stamps and how clear and precise they are when stamping with them. I have been buying most of Art by Miran's Whimsy and digi stamps for quite a while now. I can't imagine not owning as many of them as I can. I also own over 100 Whimsy stamps; as they are a fabulous value for your money.
I decided to create an Easel card. It is kind of hard to see; but I have included close up views for you. Isn't she a lovely fairy? Just so sweet and I love the fabulous flowers surrounding her.
I am entering this challenge in Path of Positivity Challenge - Beauty. I believe that all of us are one of a kind; and that we need to cherish our uniqueness as well as cherish each other. I am not sure who this card belongs to yet; but I am sure it will be for the right person. For someone who needs to hear that they are beautiful; and one of a kind. Everyone needs to be themselves and not try to be like someone else. It is hard sometimes, to let go of what others think of you or expect of you. We have to accept ourselves first; before anyone else will accept us; exactly as we are.
