Hello Everyone. Sorry
I have been MIA, but my husband has been making me get out of the house and
doing something other than sitting around obsessing over what my next project
should be. I will admit that I have not
learned to just go with it when creating projects. I overthink everything which causes me to
either not finish the project or not like it when it is done. I have to remember that there is no wrong
when creating and I should really enjoy the process of making the project.
This week’s project was created using a digital stamp from
Make it Crafty called Meadow Girls Wishful Aisha printed using my Epson
printer. I let it set overnight just to
try and avoid any smearing that may occur.
I will be honest though I have not run into a lot of that issue, Thank
Goodness. This lovely little girl was
colored using Copic markers and used sponged my distress inks to create the
background. I lined up my Bella letters
from Mama Elephant to create my sentiment.
Let me tell you, it was not an easy thing trying to get them lined up
and I am still not sure they were as straight as possible, but I stamped them
anyway using Ranger Black archival ink.
As I was looking at the project the sky seemed a little bare, so I
grabbed a stencil I had created using my silhouette that seemed to go along
with the little flower Aisha was holding.
I remember blowing on these little things as a kid and making wishes
upon wishes. I took my palette knife and
some pearl modeling cream and scraped it over the stencil. I made a mat for my project using a piece of
6 x 6 paper that I had. I am not sure
but I do believe it came in one of my Simon Says Stamp monthly kits, but don’t
quote me. I placed the whole panel on a
white card base and I consider it done.
I hope you have had a wonderful weekend and your upcoming
week is a peaceful oneJ
