Creative time. Doesn’t always come easy.

My days have been challenging. Health issues. Dr. appointments. Design projects. Deadlines.

But I always seem to get to a better place after I make time for art. Wasn’t even sure where I was going with this one. I knew I wanted to use the Laurel Grove Rubons from @ardencreativestudio and they have purple in them so that’s where I started. And I just started building layers. I’ve recently gotten some of the Liquitex liquid acrylics and wanted to give those a try too. So I just kept layering.

Felt like I needed some sort of sentiment to help the art journaling say more so I repeated the word ‘this’ from the Letter Box Postmark Stamps from @ardencreativestudio over and over. Then I called it done!

Simple as that!
