Tomorrow is World Kindness Day, one of my favourite days of the year! The idea behind it is to make the world a brighter and happier place by committing small acts of kindness and spreading a little joy. These acts can be random (also known as a RAK) or they can be for someone you know, how you choose to celebrate the day is up to you.
I thought it would be nice to make some little cards with kindness quotes on them that I could hide for people to find, either in my children's school bags or somewhere out in the "wild" for strangers to discover.

| Linen card and my Artline pens |
I started with some lovely linen card and ripped it into smaller sized pieces using a ruler so I got a nice raw edge. I wanted to end up with something similar to the size of a business card or postcard or something in between the two.

Then I got out my Artline fineliners, bush pens and Supreme metallic markers and started writing the quotes. I mixed up the types of lettering and colours I used to make them look a little more fun and interesting and added some stickers and stamps for decoration.

| Writing a quote |
On the back of the cards I wrote World Kindness Day and the date 13th November 2018 so people would know what they were for and then they could search online for more details about the day and maybe commit their own acts of kindness too.

I am going to put one in each of my daughter's bags tomorrow before school and I thought I'd hide the rest around my local community centre so they can be found and hopefully spread the message about World Kindness Day!
Will you be joining in with your own acts of kindness tomorrow?
