Stressed Lettuce

Hello Nomad Friends.  My salad plants are bolting!!  Confused and stressed by hot, cold, dry sunny weather in May, but they make a nice bouquet don't you think????


Tasty and pretty.  The butterflies seem a bit slow off the mark luckily so, despite the flowers they are looking pretty fine.  Now we have had some rain so hopefully they will feel less stressed.  


I've made a get well butterfly card using a gold coloured aluminium sheet that I embossed with a Sizzix floral folder and Rubber Dance Grungy Butterfly and Just A Note (Norwegian words) both stamped on a scrap of splatty watercolour paper I found on scrap mountain.  I backed the sentiment with a black scrap.  More details over on the Rubber Dance blog.  There's some lovely stamps on sale at Rubber Dance right now with up to 50% off!!!!  Just saying........

Thanks for dropping by.  I hope you and your garden are well.  Hugz

That embossed sheet looks amazing and the butterfly is just perfect! I am so inspired to try this with the mirror cardstock. Thank you for taking time out and join us at the Inspired by words challenge, hugs ~ Ishani.
