Remember to LOVE yourself..

 Hello everyone

I'm sharing some love with you all today 

revisiting a tutorial from last year that I Loved 

hosted by the very talented Laly Mille. 

This time created in my February junk journal rather than on canvas. 

it's created by collaging recycled scrap papers each with hand written 

words of self care, love, gratitude and kindness to oneself. 

Covering those written messages with gesso and paint I drew a 

focal heart collaged and over painted again, doodling quotes 

around the heart, adding machine stitch on the page edge...

As Valentine's Day approaches it can be overwhelming, 

please remember to LOVE yourself... 

Take care everyone

Creative Hugs

Paperbabe Stamps Challenge ~ #131 Picture Inspiration

 Hello Creative Friends. 

It's time for a new challenge over @ Paperbabe Stamps 

This fortnight we give you a Picture for Inspiration below. 

Use it to inspire you and come share your creativity HERE.

*Here's my interpretation of the challenge*

Inspired by the colours and shapes in the picture prompt and techniques 

discovered during a Laly Mille workshop I created a divided journal page. 

Working within the lines I've used scraps from previous Paperbabe 

creations using Paperbabe STAMPs and STENCILs, embossed pastes, 

paint, leaves and lace to create a mixed media journal page.. 

Here's a closer look of my two favourites 

A happy little leaf family.. 

Uplifting quote from Picasso alongside a dormant Sunday best dress..

Whether i'll keep this A3 page as it is, create a smaller journal 

or divide each section individually, i'm undecided but I must say 

the process was very relaxing to work on from start to finish..

Look forward to seeing your 

#131 Picture Inspiration creations. 

Stay safe & creative 

Tracey xx
