Jen challenged us to always be ourselves, and that if we are Wonder Woman, then always be Wonder Woman! Dessert is to add stars. Our cards are going to Julie this week who could use some paper hugs.
I used the teapot as my inspiration - in my head, I was going to watercolor a pretty blob that looked like the night sky. I don't know how I thought a blob in a dark color could be pretty, LOL, but that's where my thinking process went. I did come up with a blob, it's not just the same as the blob that was in my head Anyway, I jazzed it up with mini star brads, flicked some white paint, added the sentiment and called it done...it has been a challenging day/week and it's time for me to accept what the sentiment was telling me.
I hope that when Julie reads the sentiment, she knows that she can lean on her loved ones for support. Thank you for the challenge, Jen!

Very pretty...all those stars are wonderful for your night sky. We all have those days when what we picture in our mind doesn't always end up that way on the paper..lol. I think your blob is very artistic.

Welcome to my head...er...club...er...card making experience. But I am glad you accepted it and used this because its beautiful. The purple reminds me of a galactic explosion or one of the weird shaped nebula you see posted online. Using the small stars is so effective. It makes the explosion seem larger yet. And, like Shirl said, your sentiment is really the star. So inspiring. Hugs to you for your week.
