Kindness Inspires

Happy Monday friends!!  Hopefully you all had an awesome weekend and stayed cool in the process.  We've had over a 100 degree days here in Jersey - with the humidity so thick you could cut it with a knife!  Thankfully, it seems like today will only reach about 85 and you can actually walk outside without hitting a brick wall!

Anyway, on to my card for today!  I've been a Tiddly Inks virgin, but not anymore ;)   I can't tell you how much fun I had making this - I just love these colors together, and managed to find scraps of one of my favorite papers that I've had forever that I've been refusing to part with ;) 


So here is Poppy - isn't she precious?!  She's part of the Goth line over at Tiddly Inks and the sentiment is from TLC.  I went a touch distress-happy with my Cranberry Colorbox Pigment Ink, and as you can see - I made a mess.  Remind me never to do THAT again!  I think it kinda adds a little sumthin', sumthin' to the card ;)

Hope you all have a fabulous start to your week and, as always, thanks for leaving me some love - it always brightens my day!

    Wow...what to say that hasn't already been said? First of all...I love the distress happy look...it certainly does add a bit of somethin somethin. Secondly...congratulations on loosing your Tiddley Inks viginity...wow...that did not sound right no matter how you look at it lmbo...but you did an incredible job coloring this image and showcasing her! So I would say it was well worth the loss! Third...you have a very inate ability to match your images with the perfect sentiment, and this time is no different...great pairing girl. And last but not least...gotta love the colors you used...that bright red is such a wonderfully cheerful color.
