Here is my week one and two, and as I got 'spare' cards in my deck, and just happened to find this rub on quote complete with paint splatters I though I would do a cover/intro card, just to remind me of why I am doing this journal, and making changes in my life for the better, a kind of physical version of positiveness :)
the cover/intro card-
week ones prompt was 'was makes you proud?'
I painted the card, added crackle glaze, then rubbed
gold paint on top, wiped the excess off then added
to you?' To me, love, in all its various guises
is powerful. So after painting this card, masking
a heart off and overpainting (though the colour looks
awful in the scan) I added the 'love' sticker to the
heart and journaled 'if I have love in my heart I can
achieve anything' added a bit of doodling, and scratched
some hearts into the paint et voila.
The bonus being that my little studio is all packed up right now so I am creating using whatever scrappy bits I can find! This is the only way I am getting to craft right now! I managed to find an old cigar box, and have painted that ready for my cards to sit in. I am planning on punching holes in the cards and hanging them on a bookring too so they are all in order!
