2022 GROWING IN UNITY - POST #3 - It's Ok Not to Be OK

HELLO THERE!

It's already the middle of the week...  Time goes fast.
This is the third day of my Growing in Unity week.  Remember to visit POST #1 to check on the rules for the opportunity to win.

This week's about sharing imperfect projects and our passion for crafting and creating...  and I specially have dedicated my week to share messages of comfort and confidence because we need to remind ourselves how great life is, full of ups and downs.

I made this card and believe me... it is one of my faves because when I first saw this kit I felt it was talking to me.   It is called Quiet that Voice.  Sometimes one wants to be in control of everything -not in a bad way of controlling all around - but in a way that we need to be aware of all, help all, know what's happening, help again, be on time, be ahead, complete all tasks, be a good person, be happy...smile.  But you know what?  We are humans.  And the message is clear... It's ok not to be ok.

I stamped this image and I have to confess that started to color it several times, but the image is so strong (it's me in front of my computer sometimes... without the straight hair...LOL!)...  so I decided to leave it colorless.  The brightness and beauty of the background is our strength and beauty..  I first used a stencil from Prima Marketing and applied medium acrylic, dried, then I used some mica powder from UnlimitArt, and color sprays from Prima... all in a pink cardstock.
I fussy cut the image and placed with the sentiment. All framed in black.

Hope you like it... and remember to leave your comment.
