Feel Better Flowers

Hello, Today I woke up feeling good.  I cherish those days! The first day in a long time I felt like I could get out and get some fresh air.  So we are calling this a reset.  I had been working through the Couch to 10K app.  I was on week 11, but after having some down time I am not finding it easy to pick up where I let off.  So now I need to determine if I should keep working on week 11 or do a restart.  I am not a runner so no matter what it's going to be hard.  What do you do to keep your heart and mind healthy? How do you stay motivated, even when your body is being a slacker? 

I would love to hear from you.  

Misti is up this week hosting the CAS challenge on Splitcoast Stampers.   Her challenge is Under the Weather.  Her challenge is to make a get well or use weather as part of your card.  I chose to go with a feel better soon.  As flu season is seems to be hanging on I figured I'll likely need a card soon.  

If you would like to play along upload your card in the Splitcoast Stampers gallery and link your card to the CAS522 thread here.  

I started this card by first cutting the die cut for this stamp set, then I used my Misti to stamp the image with perfect alignment.  The Misti makes it so easy!  I colored the image with copic markers.  For the background I used a MFT stencil to lightly sponge the background, then cut it using a MFT die.  I love this die.  The I just needed to layer the background and flower on a white card base.  I use a sentiment and die from Technique Tuesday to finish my card.  

I'm also playing along with this months inspiration challenge on the Altenew blog. 
Just click the image below to see the challenge post. 

I chose to use just the floral sprig as my inspiration and inked up my new Altenew stamps. Flowers are just my thing so I hope to do some more cards for this inspiration challenge.  

I hope you get some stamping time today and I hope you can play along with any of this weeks challenges on SCS or the Altenew inspiration challenge.
