A Bouqet Of Sunshine For Ukraine

 Hello and welcome.  I'm trying to color as much as possible to keep my mind occupied while recovering from COVID and dealing with my migraine issues.  Coloring helps keep me calm, and help the anxiety I'm feeling over the invasion of Ukraine.  How many more innocent people have to die before world leaders get off their butts and help the Ukrainians??
 
My card today is using the Bring Home Some Sunflowers digital image from Power Poppy.  In fact, ALL of their sunflower images are free to download right now.  Let's fill the internet with sunflowers to show our support to the people of Ukraine!!  Power Poppy also has a couple of sunflower downloads that are fundraisers for Sunflower Of Peace.  Here the info from their website: All profit from the sale of this downloadable, print-at-home, outline illustration will be donated to Sunflower of Peace, a non-profit organization committed to helping Ukrainians affected by the Russian military invasion with medical and humanitarian aid. It is a USA-based 501(c)(3), working with a global network of established organizations and institutions that are committed to helping the people of Ukraine. You can purchase the fundraiser images here along with access to the free downloads.

After combing the image with one of the set's sayings using a watermark program, I colored it using Castle Arts pencils before lightly stippling some Tim Holtz broken china distress ink around it.  Once that was finished, I layered the image and added brads before adhering it to the card.  The "sunshine" in the saying is colored using a Castle Art gel pen.
