I used a plate to create a mask for the circle and stamped 'extra' flowers allowing some to fall off the edge of the card, I've coloured everything with DIs and used my favourite Visible Image sentiment.
I love these words, and they seem to fit well with todays events.
My son used his daily exercise yesterday to bike ride and come over for a 'garden distance coffee' - him outside sitting in the sun at the back of the garden and us inside the door, it's so strange when you have to keep your distance from your children, how I would love a hug - but better safe than sorry.
Hope you're all staying safe and finding your own ways of coping.

Gorgeous card and a wonderful sentiment. Keeping distance is hard, but necessary just now! Stay safe! Hugs, Valerie
Beautiful Avril and the sentiment is perfectly sweet.
Yes we have to keep distance if we wnat rid of this horrid virus, Stay safe.xx
A lovely card with a good saying.
My son is doing long-distance work for his company in his summer place far from here.
I'm spending time at home, but take sometimes Nordic-walk near by.
Stay safe and healthy xx
Superbly colored and I love that some of the flowers go over the edge, nice effect. A lovely sentiment too.
A beautiful card Avril.
I can so relate to what you said about the distance we have to keep from our families.
Its hard, but must be done to keep our loved ones and others safe.
stay safe and well

Beautiful card Avril, love those flowers.
We haven't seen our son since the beginning of March except on video calls. Lauren, like us has been self isolating so she did pop over 'for a coffee' ...... her sat at one end of the patio and us sat at the other .... it's all very surreal.
Take care hun xx
Beautiful card! I love how you masked the circle and added the extra flowers - perfect 😁. I know what you mean, I would have loved to give my mum a cuddle yesterday when I dropped the shopping off but best to be safe than sorry. Wishing you a happy week! Glad that you are staying safe and well! Hugs, Jo x
I love this Avril.. The colour of the flowers so pretty together. My son lives in Leeds so a 🚲 ride down to Hampshire might be a tad too far!! Lol. Police would have a field day. Stay safe and well. Hugs Mrs A.
So pretty, Avril. The flowers are lovely and I really like how you did the circle - adds so much interest. How great your Son could bike over and at least see you. So good you are being very wise in distancing. Lovely creation.
What a gorgeous floral stamp, Avril - and I love the subtle vintage tinting. I'll be back for some proper catching up soon. Stay safe, stay well, and happy Easter.
