Creative Habit? It’s a good thing

Swatching my journals. Enjoying every minute.

Spending time being creative is one of the best things you can do for yourself. It’s relaxing and helps clear your mind bringing joy to your heart. And starting with stamping and rubons is a great way to start. It’s simple and anyone can do it!

I have so many different paints and paint palettes, this really could be never ending.

For this page I started with the Letter Box Post stamps from @ardencreativestudio and followed up with my @lindysgang Laurel Garden Magicals for the perfect artsy foundation.

I added some of the Hidden Creek Rubons from @ardencreativestudio and then the swatching began with my watercolor palette

Inked a bounding box with a kuretake pen and called it done, Simple as that!
