* Path of Positivity: The Magic of New Beginnings

 

Hello

Welcome to the midway January post for the Path of Positivity Challenge..

Our challenge is always Anything Goes with an optional theme. We have decided that our overall theme for 2024 will be THE POWER OF WORDS.

This month's option is to design a project that is inspired by quotes about New Beginnings.

Here are the quotes chosen for this month:: 

“Tomorrow is the first blank page of a 365-page book. Write a good one."

— Brad Paisley

“New month, new intentions, new goals, new love, new light, and new beginnings.” 

— April Mae Monterrosa

"The magic in new beginnings is the most powerful of them all." 

 — Josiyah Martin

"New Year's Day. A fresh start. A new chapter waiting to be written." 

 — Sarah Ban Breathnach

“Every moment is a fresh beginning.” 

— T.S. Eliot

Honours and Prizes include:

• $6 worth of images from Scribbles Designs, for a person chosen in a random draw based on all qualifying entrants.
• A badge for the following honours: Top Pick, Voter's Choice, Most Inspirational, Random Winner, DT Delight.

Here is my midway DT project.

I decided to use one of the new beginning quotes and add some stamped images. 

I made a stencilled background using dye based inks and added white splatters. I darkened the edges with Oxide inks and Versafine Nocturn ink. The lovely stamps are from Rubber Dance (Loose Florals 1 and Textiured Birds). I coloured them with Inktense watercolour pencils. They are fussy cut leaving a thin border and are loosely attached to the stencilled background, so that there is some dimension and movement. The sentiment was typed and cut into strips.

White paint splatters were applied to the coloured stamps and Glossy Accents added to the flower centres and to the bird's eye.

That's all for now.

We would love to see your creations! 

Just make sure that your entry is positive, inspirational, motivational or encouraging in some way!
