Thank you, Julie for a wonderful graphic style challenge site this week in Canva. I could be lost in there for days...better things. I chose this for the saying. We so need to remember that! And I'm seriously missing HUGS!
And Carla, you brought us a timely challenge with Umbrellas and Flowers for the Ways to Use It this week. Thank you for the inspiration....I love having options of 'things' for the challenges.
It's wonderful when you can go to your stash and pull out a panel with the beginnings of something.
This Tim Holtz sunburst stencil was made using Brushos and Tattered Angels 'Shimmer Spray'. I stamped the VLV 'Banksy' N.O.L.A. girl and embossed with Ranger 'Detail' EP. The piece was then sprayed with water and I took out some of the yellow/orange by tamping with Kleenex. And then more Brushos in the blues. Spraying and tamping until I was pleased with the look.
Added the raindrops and the C.S. Lewis quote, stamping on acetate with Stazon. Of course a few staples.
Here's a link to Where to Find NOLA Street Art if you are interested. Thanks for stopping by. Look up...there are far better things ahead of us! Virtual hugs....

Fabulous! It IS fun when we can pull from our stash and complete a card! What a great sentiment. I keep so busy that most of the time I am good but then I will read one too many bleak posts and I have to start all over again and remind myself that there is better ahead!

Of course you found something fabulous in your stash, Sis! It's full of treasures and inspiration from previous creative bursts. Your spraying and tamping paid off, the added blues highlight your Banksy girl beautifully and I love the added power of the message over the sunburst. This is Totally Susan! I think you need a custom stamp of that for the backs of your cards
And, thanks for playing in my challenge!
