Greetings! It has been quite some time since I've last posted anything. I think I am suffering from Covid fatigue and depression. This pandemic has for me personally left me feeling down and discouraged. The endless number counts, testing problems, vaccine or anti-vaccine it just seems so out of control for being over two years into this mess now. I know I am definitely not alone in my "despair" and need to find a way back to looking forward to the day rather than "surviving" it. So I decided to enter this month's sketch challenge over at My Creative Scrapbook Kit Club.
This is the sketch:
And this is my take on the sketch.
My two oldest grandchildren Lilly and Emily.
I prepped my page with clear gesso. I then added a few of the branches using the stencil that came with the kit. I colored it with Lindy's mists and some distress glitter from Tim Holtz. I then added an ephemera branch and a piece of Blue Fern Chipboard colored with white paint and glitter. I topped this out with a poinsetta from the ephemera pack. I did this in three of the four corners.
I used a piece of Ephemera for my title. Love the ephemera packs!
A final close-up.
I have already started a new page and hope to get my groove back. I promised myself that no matter how much I like or dislike my project I will post them. hopefully with time I will feel more confident again and the creativity will come back. I hope that you are all doing well and staying as safe as possible in these trying times. As my mother always used to say "This too shall pass". Lets hope!
