A Kind and Magnificent Friend

My dear friend Michele Ferguson chose today, World Kindness Day, as our Playing Cards 

with Friends date and I accepted in a flash. 

 The "rules" for our play date is to make a card for someone who has done something 

kind. Not necessarily for me, nor does it have to be someone in our card making 

community. Just an act of kindness that deserves notice.

 

Well, duh, it was a no brainer to choose my playmate and creative card maker

as the inspiration for my card.

 

 

I'm not sure when I "met" Michele. I always wondered about this gal whose blog was called

"I Card Everyone". She would stop by and leave the sweetest comments on my blog.

 

 She has since sent me annual Christmas and birthday cards as well as "just because" cards

which are the very best kind. We managed to FaceTime just once, but it's an event 

I'll always cherish and hope to do it again!

For my card, I purchased Spellbinders Stitched Etched Alphabet Dies and didn't think I 

would be doing any stitching. But I did some for Michele. I watched Yana Smakula's video 

on Analogous Colors and found a color palette that reminds me of Michele.

 

The stamp set has matching adjectives for each alphabet and I only wish hers was

"kind hearted". But she's magnificent just the same.

 

She decided to keep photos of our cards a secret from each other so I'll join you over

at her blog to see her masterpiece. I can cross "playing cards with Michele" off of my

bucket list now. Thanks so much, kind friend--it was tons of fun!

Personally, I think there needs to be more kindness in the world, not only today, 

but every day 💗
