Flowers of Kindness


 Today I had the opportunity to listen to an inspirational speaker who highlighted some behaviors of admired leaders.  He gave some awesome ways to make people feel they are special.  The bottom line was finding ways to be kind to people!

Thanks to these challenges for helping me put the speakers' words into a visual reminder:


 







For my card I broke out a loved and retired Stampin Up set: Love is Kindness.  I heat embossed the image (and the blooms on the bottom), colored with SU markers and fussy cut the images.  I took a piece of paper from an old dictionary to "wrap" the flowers and tied with some hemp twine.  The tag was made from watercolor paper cut with SU scallop tag punch and then watercolored the background.
