This is for the WT486 to use balloons, and the MIX75 to use repetition....I might have stretched the definition for the MIX challenge since I did not stamp something multiple times, but I sure did repeat the black and white lines. I have a lot of quotes and sayings that I like bouncing around in my head. Since they are not written down, I don't always get them exactly right. The words on this canvas say, "when I took the leap I feared I would fall...instead I learned I could fly". The WT486to use balloons made me think of flying, which made me think of this quote. I first covered the canvas with gelatoes in light and darker blues and mixed with a paint brush. Blocked out the areas for the sun, girl and words with gesso applied with my finger. Applied more gelatoes using yellow, orange, lavender and green. I used black pens and white acrylic paints for the border, and white gel pen for the words. One thing about creative pieces is that you don't have to follow rules. I love to mix upper and lower case letters in the same word. I drew the girl since none of my thousands of stamps worked. I fussy cut her clothes and drew the rest of her and the balloons with prisma pencild and gamisol. Lots of mess and time...I'll stick to cards for awhile. This urge to do a canvas only hits about every 6 months...I am surely over it now. Have a wonderful week and TFL.
