I also took inspiration from the current Essentials by Ellen Pin-Sights Challenge.
Have you (like me) already been sick enough this winter to resort to using Puffs with Lotion & Vicks? If so, the only plus-side is that when you finish the box, the inside is lined with a gorgeous silver metallic paper that is perfect for die cuts. I used it to die cut my word & my *rock*. I backed the die cut with the coordinated Scarlet Jewel cardstock.
The circle was painted with leaf green brushos. I like to paint a bunch of pages at night and then wake-up in the morning and see how cool they all look after they have dried.

Love your card. My kind of "rocks". : ) The bg looks like the "garden" one sees in some emeralds. Cute sentiment to tie it all together. Clever use of your "sickie" paraphernalia. Feel better soon, Stef.

WONDERFUL! I love when we can repurpose household items for card making! I love your inspired reminder to do that (I propose to try this week!) love it!
