If this doesn’t make you happy I don’t know what will! So much happy color in one place!

In today’s video, I show you how I create a super easy horizon background that anybody can do including a beginner painter. And I use a paper towel to create texture in the tree.

I also created a new tree stencil just for this piece that I will have in the shop at a discount in case you want to create this too.

I used one of my go-to collage paks for this piece and as usual, I have a discount coupon code to use if you want to get the collage pak. It’ll be in the resource library or your weekly email.

The quote says “When it rains looks for rainbows, when it’s dark look for stars” and I know it’s pretty self-explanatory what it means but I take this beautiful saying in a different direction and talk about what it means to me and you.

I share about how your brightness and beauty are needed in this world. You can hear all about it in the video.

Oh, and just FYI this original and print are available in the shop.

Have fun watching and creating!
