Free Create Day

I LOVE when I have a 

FREE CREATE DAY....

when I don't have a creative assignment...

and I GET TO CHOOSE 

what I want to play with!!

YESTERDAY was one of those days...

I had a package of

  Ken Oliver'sKraft & Water-Media Cards

(2) Pack of Color Burst

some The Crafter's Workshop stencils

Stencil Folk Art Flower

Repeating Pods

Layered Flower Bits

a jar of Perfect Paints 

....and I let the creative process flow!

For all the cards,

I applied various Color Burst colors

to the Water Media Card.

I love that you can soak these cards and they

stay FLAT!

Then I stenciled over the the colored background

with Perfect Paints Polishing Plaster ~ Organic Sugar.

From there I tried something different on each card.

For this card I painted on Yellow Gold ~ Liquid Metallics

over the Polishing Plaster.

For the second card....

I JUST LOVED

how the Color Burst seeped into the Polishing Plaster

to cause a "transparent" look.

....see!

I chose to leave this background AS IS!

For the last card I painted over the Polishing Plaster

with various colors from the Earthtones 6-Pack.

All three of my cards have sentiments from

Impression Obsession / Yvonne Blair Designs

Everyday Quotes 2

stamped on CCB Kraft Cardstock with

Ranger ~ Archival Ink ~ Watering Can.

For my second card I painted UmWowStudio chippies 

Fortune Teller Mash

Home Grown Mash

with Gesso, then painted on a bit of the

Earthtone Color Burst.

Added a few Petaloo Blooms!

The last card....

I hope you have enjoyed my creative journey!

It felt AMAZING to free create!!
