 | | Last night I borrowed a page from Sabrina's playbook and tried a little art therapy. I wasn't planning to make a card, I was just testing out some new to me distress crayons. I bought those last week during a bit of "buy myself a present" therapy. I scribbled some colors through a stencill and spritzed with
water resulting in an ugly mess. When you start off with an ugly mess, you can be more experimental and creative since you are not worried about ruining something you like. I stamped the butterflies and flowerd and was about to dump the entire disaster. There are 2 good options for bad art attrmpts...go with mixed media and also try a bg stamp. I stamped the grid, added some gold and white splatter, then sponged the edges. For the F4A challenge i used the word Refresh from a box of dry eye drops. I used both warm and cool colors for the CT0218 challenge, and I splattered for the MIX challenge. TFL, Francie |

, make more of them! I love your use of the TH flowers, I don't use mine enough. They make a gorgeous happy meadow, and I especially love the grid stamp on it. The colours remind me a lot of the Basic Grey "Indian Summer" pad, which was a lovely one. I'm glad you kept going through the messy stage and came out like a butterfly from the chrysalis to brighten the gallery.
