Make it a habit!

Spend time every day being creative. Mixing color. Exploring different mediums. Expand your mind and free your soul.

I didn’t spend long on this. My goal wasn’t a masterpiece. It was exploration. How do these colors work together? How do they take to the journal? Do I like the color block effect over the stamps?

Exploration like this generally leads to more creativity. More ideas. More exploring. And possibly a masterpiece or two in between. It keeps your creative mind flowing.

I used my @ardencreaativestudio sketch stamps with an archival ink and a mix of watercolor palettes!

Simple as that!
