Keep Calm and Put the Kettle On

I started this card yesterday for the Coffee Lovers Spring Blog Hop amidst anxious times as Cyclone Debbie slowly made her path to land with 250km/ph destructive winds and torrential rain.... fortunately for our city Townsville, the cyclone veered away and hit about 250km south. Being north of the spinning cyclone meant we had minimal rain and gusty winds today...sadly for many others there is a huge clean up to deal with.  Searching through my stamp I thought this sentiment quite appropriate for the moment.  I created the background with my fav technique at the moment - scrunched plastic wrap with spring colours in Brushos... sprinkled, sprayed and laid on the card. Then stamped my image, coloured and roughly around it. Stamped my sentiment and die cut with a flower shape and sponged the edge.  I used my stitched die to cut the panel, attached it to a green layered and onto my card. To finish I randomly stamped flowers, punched a few more from leftover background and scattered them about.  Thanks for taking a peek
