Everyday fairytale - Hello sweet sunshine

 This weekend I sat at a tent for my church First Christian Church, Memphis, MO for Antique Fair Days. I did gelli printing with kids. I think my youngest was 4 and the oldest was in his 60's. Nothing like playing with acrylic paint and having fun to bring out the kid in all of us. A little girl who is in first grade made this one for me. She had a stack of about 20 other prints that she made so she didn't mind giving me this one.

I stamped the flowers from Unity set called Everyday Fairytale. It wasn't until I uploaded the photos that I realized what the script behind the flowers says. "Hello sweet sunshine. so glad you ..." I have played with this stamp several times and hadn't noticed what it said until today. I guess previously I was too focused on the flowers.

I painted the flowers with white acrylic paint.

Added color to flowers with water color paint. Added details with black ink pen and white gel pen,

I made it into a post card.  I did a scribble doodle on the kraft with the white gel pen and I also added some little white dots around the flowers. I used a black pen to doodle stitches to the white panel.

I thought this would be a fun time to practice my hand lettering. So this side of the post card was all drawn by hand.
