As short as this quote is, I find it very powerful. We don't have control over a lot of things in life, but we do have control over our attitude. And that can make all the difference.
For my bg: I used a variety of sponging, stenciling, and stamping till I was satisfied. Stamped the silhouette flower multiple times, stenciled in the birds, splattered the panel with black splatters, sponged some black around the edges of the panel and stamped the sentiment. Adhered to my card front. I LOVE making this type of card -it creates such depth and interest in the bg, yet lets the sentiment (or quote) shine.

My feeling exactly and I love your pretty collage - the colors are uplifting and I like the fun variety of stamps & stencils.
I have a very negative friend I'd like to send this to - LOL - she gripes about everything and then gripes some more when I find something positive in the same situation . . ..

Thanks for the challenging message as well as the beautiful card, Maura. I like the small strip of blue, and love the birds: I often see skeins of geese flying over in the winter, and sometimes even a small family of swans. They always seem to suggest peace.
