One of my favorite techniques has become stenciling. It reminds me of the times I would watch my grandmother do stenciling on fabric for pillowcases, etc. I also love silhouettes, so I added this one to my card. Since Tricia is into Stampin' Up I used one of my old and favorite bear limbed trees as the branches to make it a bigger tree for this scene.I used a green copic marker to make the leaves. And adding some encouraging words is always one of my favorite things to do as well. So being reminded that God has us covered in every situation we find ourselves, I am hopeful that Tricia's spirits are lifted just as the little boy is moving ever upward and even though the swings goes both direction, the boy is focused skyward knowing, God is there in the whole process.

I loved reading your thoughts about God having us covered in whatever situation we are in! The tree leaves you made with your green marker look great and your stenciled sky is lovely!

What a wonderful, carefree scene you have created. I love love love how you stenciled these clouds -- gorgeous. And, your tree is so tall, it looks like that little guy could fly. Beautiful sentiment on a beautiful card. Sure to comfort and uplift Tricia.

Liz this is a beautiful way to send an uplifting message! God is good and he is our refuge and strength! Your beautiful silhouette image is a wonderful illustration of how we should always look up and keep our focus on God! Thank you for your participation in this week's teapot challenge on Tricia's behalf. Your thoughtfulness has not gone unnoticed.
