When we go through hardship, it is difficult to see the sun through the thick clouds. But we must remember, the sun is there, even when we can't see it. And there will be sunshine after all the rain. I promise.
This card took a little longer to make than my usual cards. It was made with a family member in mind after they suffered a heart attack. When your life changes upside down in an instant, it is hard to focus on the good things. But having family around who will be there for you no matter what, is the most you could ask for.
So I made two images that could easily be two separate card fronts, but together they conveyed the message perfectly with the b/w vs. colored image.
On the front panel I stamped the little girl and ducks from Hello Bluebird Singing in the rain stamp set together from clouds from an older set. I masked the images and then blended the background with Distress Oxide Black Soot. Then I colored the images with C family of Copic markers, drawing the rest of the background and the puddles. I added the raindrops with a white gel pen (Gelly Roll) I mounted the panel onto a black card base.
Because the base was black and the inside of the card where I would normally write a personal note was filled with another image, I stencilled the clouds with Distress Ink Broken China on a die-cut shaped like a stamp.
On the inside I attached a second image of Anja from the same stamp set with a sun from an MFT set and rainbow stamp from an Avery Elle stamp set. Again I colored the images with Copics.
I never considered myself an artist and drawing is an ongoing challenge, but I love watching Sandy Allnock tutorials, she explains everything so well and I just go and give it a try. How bad can it be?:)

Lepo sporočilo ima tvoja zgodba. Tudi sama sem šla pred kratkim skozi težko preizkušnjo in še kako velja, da za dežjem mora posijati tudi sonce. Hvala, da sodeluješ v CRAFT-alnici, kjer sem tokrat gostja.
