I just came across a great site called: http://artwithnoboundaries.blogspot.com/
They have a challenge called "express yourself"
When I saw this image, not only did it amuse me, but I just loved the spirit of her actions and expression. It reminded me that every year I make the resolution to get in shape, back on my diet, back to the gym, etc. For the first two weeks, I'm highly motivated. However, when I do not see instant results;did someone say "IGF" person? ( - instant gratification person) Yes! Guilty as charged; Well, I tend to slack off. So I am sending this to a few of my friends for inspiration and motivation to just keep with it and simply enjoy the moment.
This digi is from http://www.justinklined.com/index.php?route=common/home I colored her using copics and pro markers. I used a spellbinders die to cut the scalloped circle behind her from a DCWV paper from their Metalics stack. I used nail art nail polish glitter to highlight her wings. (I buy those in the dollar store and I love that they leave a nice gloss, have the perfect, thin brush and dry instantly.) I used a Martha stewart punch for the border edges. The image papers are from K& company. This is the first time I made a "step card" following the tutorial from a great site called "cardmakingmagic.com" She does beautiful work and has such a calming, sweet manner in her videos. The sentiment is fromhttp://beyondthefringecrafts.blogspot.com/2011/03/tim-hawkins-inspired-digi-sentiment.html (Thanks Carmen) .
I am entering this in the following challenges:
