This month our theme for Challenge #12 at Path of Positivity is
THOUGHTFULNESS.
Just a small act of kindness e.g. smiling when walking past a stranger or just opening a door for an elderly person, may make that person's day the best ever.
I used this beautiful DAHLIA from PICKLED POTPOURRI who is one of our sponsors this week. You can purchase the DAHLIA image here. The sentiment is from CREATE WITH TLC .
The design papers and bling are from my stash. I cropped one of the main image's leaves in Phootoshop and printed it a few times to use as embellishments. The image and leaves have been coloured with H2O water colour pencils and the sentiment with dry chalks.
The sponsors and prizes for this challenge are:
Mandy, from http://amandacruxton.blogspot.com is our GDT for the month. As you know, Mandy has been the recipient of two Most Inspiring awards recently and she is a very talented lady with her cards as well. I am so happy she was able to join us this month.

Hey Desíre,
ReplyDeleteI'm here with my DT hat on today and funny that this is the card I'd be commenting on so I'm actually going to pull double duty while I'm here.
First off, I just adore the way you have framed the Dahlias with those gemstones. It looks so cool. Thanks so much for entering your card into the Scribbles Designs Challenge this month. Good luck in the draw.
Now for my second duty, once again you have done our team proud with your incredibly thoughtful card. I especially love the way you repeat the leaf all over the place. Brilliant idea. Additionally, thanks for providing ideas to help get people thinking about ways they can be more thoughtful in their lives. Thanks for coming through for me yet again! I'm so lucky to have you on the Path of Positivity team.
Hugs,
Lisa
