A Year of Gratitude Challenge 2<\/strong><\/p>\n To read more about the power of gratitude, visit my original blog post here<\/a>.<\/p>\n How To Participate<\/strong><\/p>\n The Second Prompt<\/strong><\/p>\n I am grateful for obstacles. Yes, they are hard. Yes, they can suck. But, they make me who I am. They make me better, stronger, more empathetic, more humble. Here is what I made:<\/p>\n Quick description of what I did: Gesso pages, let dry. Paint background with Black, Night, and White. Add stenciling (Circle Faces with Black paint and Spaced Dots with Ocean paint). Paint #8 white tag with swipes of Sand, Sedona, and Ocean. Use white and black Stabilo pencils to add desired journaling to painted pages. Cut semi-circles out of pages from the Collage Collective and sew on them, if desired. Glue shapes to tag and page with Ultra Thick gel. Write journaling on back of tag with Fudeball pen and use blank Media Tape to tape it onto the page on one side, so it opens up like a door.<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Challenge Rules Recap I want to put the \u201cme\u201d back in mixed media. All art is personal, whether it be a card or an art journal page or a painting. Join me as we begin a series of monthly challenges and prompts that will fuel your creative spirit and help you delve into the ME of MEdia.<\/p>\n\n
