Prompt: Confidence

Hello again, Melita here bringing you our newest prompt!

This weeks prompt is courtesy of yours truly. I’ve been trying to step outside my comfort zone more than I normally would, but my confidence has taken a bit of a beating recently. I really want/need to boost my confidence back up again, but must admit it’s not been easy. So, what better subject for this weeks prompt, right?

Here’s Jaimie’s stunning creation, as always

I chose a canvas again this week – this was a message I wanted to keep in sight, so a canvas to hang in my studio was the perfect solution.

Supplies: 8x8 deep edge canvas, vintage sheet mysic and book text, Crate Paper Portrait collection, Liquitex modelling paste, Vintage doily as stencil, Kaisercraft acrylic paint, Distress ink, rubber stamps, Archival ink, Kaisercraft flowers, Thickers

I hope our creations can inspire you to play in your journal, work on a canvas, or whip up an awesome digi layout. Be sure to link us up to your ‘confidence’ creations – we’d love to check them out!

Happy arting,

Prompt 5: Maps

After weeks of no creative mojo whatsoever, I am finally able to bring you Prompt #5! Woot! Jaimie chose the prompt this time around, and I’m not gonna lie, I struggled. I actually completed a couple of journal spreads, but ended up obscuring the maps almost completely lol What can I say, I like to layer!

As usual, Jaimie has outdone herself with her digi goodness. I love her blending here, the restrained use of embellishments, and of course that quote. So perfect!

For my interpretation, I decided to go with a canvas, and a quote that I really need to keep in sight. I had a lot of fun with this, it felt good to really create again. If you’d like to see step by step pics of it’s creation, be sure to head over to my blog HERE.
