More Inspirational Quote Projects

 Hello all!

My last post was about some inspirational quote projects

that I made for our scrapping/crafting studio.

Today I have a few more to show you.

This is one of the walls at My Happy Place.

The banner at the top says CREATE,

I made that banner quite a while ago and it was 

hanging in a different spot, so we moved that over on

this wall.

The background of this piece was created

 with watercolor crayons.  I colored a few colors onto

my craft mat, added water and 'smooched' the 

watercolor paper into the color to pick it up.

After it was dried I used my light box to 

trace the words and painted them with 

pearlescent watercolors.

I adhered the project to a piece of matting and strung

the ribbon through holes around the sides and to make

the hanger.

This one was done by stamping the flowers onto

Bristol Paper.

I love the smooth surface of this paper for coloring.

I used VersaFine Onyx Black ink for the stamping,

did the coloring with my Fantasia Colored Pencils.

The words were painted with pearlescent watercolors.

This last piece was the start of my whole

"journey" into making these projects.

It started with this inspiration

from Kristina Werner.

As I said in my last blog post,

It's all about 

Inspiration not Re-creation.

I'm not as talented as she is,

so I used my light box to trace 

the words that I had printed onto a 

piece of computer paper using

pearlescent watercolors.

(Can you tell that I love them?)

The background was made 

with the 'smooching' technique I 

mentioned above using Distress Inks.

Thanks for stopping by today to see what I've

been up to.

I hope you'll come again soon.

I have one more project to show you in this

"series" ..... well, until I get some more done that is.

I hope you are enjoying them and have gotten some 

inspiration from them.

Until next time:

Make Pretty Things!
