Path of Positivity: Keep Your Face to the Sunshine

Hello

Welcome back to 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.

September's option is to design a project that is inspired by quotes about Strength and Courage.

***
Here is my midway project:


I used the beautiful Helen Keller quote along with this quirky sunflower stamp, designed by Melia Dahl for That's Crafty, to make a bookmark.
 I coloured the sunflower with Inktense Watercolour pencils and fussy cut it. I added it to a background made by stamping Oxide Inks with a stencil. Lots of white splatters were added to the background and I inked the edges in black. The quote was typed, printed and cut into strips. Finally I added an eyelet and colour-matching ribbon.


***
Here are this month's suggested quotes, but you can, of course, use your own:

 “Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.” — Helen Keller

“Only in the darkness can you see the stars.” — Marcus Aurelius

“All you need is the plan, the road map, and the courage to press on to your destination.” — Earl Nightingale
 
“Life doesn’t get easier or more forgiving, we get stronger and more resilient.” — Steve Maraboli
 

“The sun himself is weak when he first rises, and gathers strength and courage as the day gets on.” — Charles Dickens

***
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!

* Vera Lane Studio: February's Heart

 

 Hello

It's Monday and my Vera Lane Studio DT day. 

(Just so that you know, I am taking a short break from Vera Lane Studio DT duties during February).

Today I'm using a newish digi set called February's Heart. It has the most adorable little girl and her puppy dog along with a flower and six sentiments.

Here is what I made:



I went with a CAS style this week. The lovely characters are coloured with Copic markers and fussy cut. They are on a gelli print background made with a mini gelli plate and PaperArtsy Fresco Chalk paints along with one of Janet's stencils from AALL & Create (#96 Dandelion Field). I added a hand drawn doodle border and matted it onto a painted piece of card, then popped it on a 5 inch card base..



That's all for now.

I hope you'll come along and play on Vera Lane. It's such a friendly, fun place to be!

* Vera Lane Studio: Sauvignon Blanc

 

Hello

It's Monday and my Vera Lane Studio DT day.  

Today Janet has released a new digi set called Sauvignon Blanc. It features a cute girl with an oversized glass of wine. She has a separate wine bottle and wine glass for accessories and two sentiments. 

Here is what I made:


I started by making the ATC. The background is stencil stamped using Oxide inks. I added a little black stamping and lots of white paint splatters. The character is coloured with Copics, fussy cut and adhered onto torn washi tape which grounds her. The sentiment was cut into strips and outlined in black.. I decided to make a background, again stamping with a stencil loaded with Oxide inks. It was matted onto black card and a piece of velvet trim was added along the bottom portion, A knot bow was placed on top of the trim and everything was adhered onto an A6 card base.



That's all for now.

I hope you'll come along and play on Vera Lane. It's such a friendly, fun place to be!

* Path of Positivity #117 Midway: Grown with Love

 


Hello

Welcome to the midway reminder for the November Path of Positivity Challenge.

Our challenge is always Anything Goes with an optional theme.

This month's option is to design a project that is inspired by TEXTURE.

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 PickVoter's ChoiceMost InspirationalRandom WinnerDT Delight.

Here is my midway DT project:


My project was totally inspired by watching some of Tracy Evans's YouTube videos. I love the stencilled, crackle paste, textured background and the vintage colours from the Distress Oxide ink spray. Tracy's video can be viewed here: Stencils and Texture. The boots and cyclamen are stamped and partially coloured with Inktense watercolour pencils, and this arrangement was inspired by Tracey's snippet video: Snippet #3.


That's all for now.
We would love to see your creations!
