I was inspired by the kite and cloud, and also knew I wanted to make reference to the pink color and hearts in the original card.
For my card, I started with a gray background that I die cut with windy swirls. I added the die cut in white of the ground, tree, kite, and clouds (all one die, all pieces connected). This is framed to fit the full front of an A2 sized card. I added a pink heart to the kite and a pink sentiment to the tree.
As a final touch, I added the mouse being carried away in the scene, which is colored with alcohol markers. I could not resist adding a pink belly button.

I think your sentiment and mine go so well together and basically say the same thing but in different ways. The swirly background you used is perfect for wind! Darling critter. Love the colors. Fun case!

This is a great case of Bonnie's card. I love the pierced gray background and how it highlights the white tree, clouds and kite. The little critter hanging on the string is precious.

Adorable card. That swirly ef does look like a windy setting and your placement of the kite and bear look they are caught up in a very blustery day. Love love love how you use the pink on this, especially that sweet heart in the middle of the kite. All these die cuts are just wonderful. Fabulous card
