Sending sunny sunflowers for strength

Hello dear bloggers,

I have noticed one blessing during Covid which is that I am able to blog more often. I was almost considering getting out of blogging and switching to Facebook. However, I realized that blogging is therapeutic as the interaction is more realistic and there is a certain amount of writing involved here which makes it a relaxing experience.

This is indeed a very sunny card... and it is dedicated to all those going through challenging times - races, communities and countries. I wish them sunshine and may they come out of this phase calmer and stronger. May humanity prevail.

The background has been made with a stencil and it has been lying with me for years. I had this yellow window from another card and everything came together after Zeenya, my older one, helped me choose these beautiful sunflowers from my stash. I had bought them from a craft store in the UK in Shropshire. That was in 2013! 
The sentiment is store bought. I quite like the happy vibe of this card.




I will participate in the following challenges with this card:

https://artsystamperchallenge.blogspot.com/ - black / white and one colour
