Stamped the sentiment with markers and embossed it with clear EP, then stamped the wall after stamping it off once. Stamped the splotches with the same markers as the sentiment. Distressed the edges, and added it to a base sponged with Pumice Stone and then edged with grey and silver markers.

Aw, Sabrina, you came through with flying colors with this awesome card - praying it gets the message to Ernie and lifts his spirits when he reads the "graffitti" on your wall - love the way you did the colors of the quote!! Hugs! (Going to head over to start my card now!)

I love that you did a stamp-off of the wall - it is a very effective BG with the more subtle look. Your combination of colors, especially in the sentiment is very effective in conveying the upbeat message. Thank you for coming to Ernie's Teaparty...he will love this! You are such an inspiration to us all, so make sure to get extra cookies! Hugz from New Jersey!

Such a cool technique for your awesome background!!! The way you did the border looks really wonderful! As everyone has been saying, GREAT sentiment!!! It looks perfect with the different colors and the paint splatters too!

You do so well with quick cards - such a card would not be quick for me! I really like the effect of the wall and graffiti. (I have been retired for 22 years and STILL do not have time to do all that I want to do...!!! I just did that math and cannot believe it has been so long...!)
