My card was inspired by the man with the umbrella holding off the rain and actually making his own sunshine.
I stamped the sentiment along the right side. I then drew in the line for the ground along the bottom. I then used a waterbrush to soften the bottom. I used watercolor pencils and waterbrush to add a halo effect around my man.
I cut out the main panel and layered it over another panel of the vintage newspaper. I splattered white paint around the edges. I cut out a few different banners of the painted background and layered them on the right hand side. I added crystals, stars and a game spinner with brad to the right.
