Tonight in the quiet I decided to just create.....not for a purpose, not for anyone, not for a class, a make 'n take, or work but just for me. Just to feel inspired again. Oh boy did it feel good. I did not have a direction, a task or a anything to follow but just me some mists, glue, and ink. I decided to take a few photos of the step by steps of the process as I am asked often how I created something so here goes......
Misted the backgroud with Tattered Angels Mists and used a Crafter's Workshop template:
Used foam stamps to paint "Create"....and punched/misted some leaves with a Marvy Punch...adhered leaves with Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots
My favorite Charcoal pencil around the edges of the letters...
Stamped a perfect saying and voila.....
I wanted clean and simple and just wanted to feel inspired again. And did I ever! I am going to schedule some more creative time for me more oftent! Thanks for looking!
