I admit I was distracted yesterday, the sun was shinning, the birds were singing and I had cabin fever. I spent the afternoon out on my balcony cleaning, and pre-planning what flowers I want to try this summer...lol...I say try because it's a rather shady spot, and flowers and shade aren't the easiest combination for growing beautiful flowers, foliage, yes.

So working on a card was distracting...so being that I was in a scattered state of mind I went with a base that I could work on, and then walk away from and back into the sun as needed. I decided to create a mosaic base, and once it was finished I gave it a light swipe with some gesso..looks like tile to me. The pieces of paper are all from my scrap bin..which is growing larger and needs to be worked from!

And being that today is St. Patrick's Day...I saved my most favorite card to share with you!
OK, the card may not be that great, but I love the paint brush!! lol

I had the most fun with this, I sewed the brown bristles, glued on the green fiber. Embossed the brush handle and used flashing tape for the band. It was a blast making it!

Easter bonnets? Remember wearing them..with white gloves, black patent leather shoes and lacy edged socks? My dad, bless his southern heart, use to give mom and me corsages every Easter too!...sigh....Such sweet times to think about, and this challenge made me think of all those good things...way back then!
