I have to admit that I exaggerated earlier. The truth is that there are no care bears featured on this card.
To create this card, I used Dinkles (Mica powder) and a stencil. Unfortunately, the powder bled more than I had anticipated, but on the bright side, it still looked beautiful so I decided to use it anyway. I layered the image on top of white cardstock, then I found the perfect Paper Rose paper in my stash to use as the bottom layer. The colors blended together so well that you can hardly tell that they are separate pieces.
Finally, I stamped a sentiment on the bottom right corner of the card and went around the edges with a shade of pink.
Thanks for looking and thanks for being you Marcia.

First off, I'm glad you didn't go with Care Bears...probably not a good idea for someone over 5...lol. You got some great colors with those mica powders and why not show them off with just an encouraging sentiment. Very eye catching card!

No bears, but I do see hints of flowers in there. Those colors are so rich and bold. I agree with Polly, show em off with a just that wonderful sentiment. Great card.

It's very hard to use powders or anything too wet with stencils, in my opinion. One has to be happy to end up with an abstract look. We can definitely see the flowers there - and it's hard to believe that that base is DP and not more of your own work.

Wow, this is stunning! Love the bright colors, and that sentiment is perfect! (I do think you should know, tho, that your title is 'click bait' for anyone looking for card ideas for their grandchildren, lol!) :-)
