The Best Remedy Kit

Today I used one of our new kits, The Best Remedy Kit to create these adorable cards that can be sent to lift someone’s spirits. I’m in the middle of a move and I don’t have access to my craft supplies so a kit was perfect to use.

The first card has this cute little bird with a fun sentiment. The dark blue layer is embossed. Don’t you just love those slippers!

 
 

I love a striped background and the pink and yellow layers break it up nicely. The adorable mouse is eating ice cream. Ice cream is the best remedy, don’t you think?
