The Stampendous team is showcasing the fabulous stamps and stencils from Nathalie Kalbach this week, and some of Nathalie’s friends have been joining us. There are 3 prize packaages up for grabs, and anyone can win! Visit the Stampendous Blog for full details.
I have been thinking a lot about the recent tragedy to the LGBT community in Orlando, and I decided to use Nathalie’s Urban Scribble set for today’s project.
Then, using the stencil that comes in the Urban Scribble set, plus the Picasso tool, I stenciled some pixelated clouds in the background. I hand wrote “Love is Love.”
I decided to not make this a card..but rather some wall art. I cut a big mat out of watercolor paper and sprayed a super-duper rainbow all over it with Dylusions sprays. I originally intended to go more mixed media with this project, but I really loved the color play from the sprays, and I decided to leave the background be.
I don’t want to go on a pedestal and start preaching, but please just try to look past skin color, sexual orientation, and whatever other judgments you may pass on others. We are all human, we all deserve to love and be loved. Below are the rest of the folks hopping today. Thanks for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!
Alison Heikkila (that’s me!)

Hi. I'm very touched by this. It's really beautiful and simple yet it says it all. Myriam from Quebec, Canada.
Beautiful sentiment, beautiful picture. The rainbow effect is perfect.
This is beautiful and so inspiring. Thank you!
Gorgeous! I love the cityscape more & more every time I see it.
Love your last comment about love. I'm the type of person who just accepts people for who they are and don't judge. I think that's why I get along with everyone. What a wonderful world it would be if everyone could find it in themselves to do that. Have a beautiful day!
What a gorgeous frame for your rainbow city! – FL
The rainbow city scape is perfect. The colors look great.
I love your wall art piece!! I totally agree about loving each other regardless of orientation, color, race or if you don't like chocolate (well maybe that can't be overlooked). If more people remembered this the world would be a happier place with less crime and hatred! TFS!
Love your wall project! And the sentiment is perfect for the urban stamp! Great colors as well. Thx for sharing!!
