Create a piece of art about what you admire. Is it a grand admiration or is it small and simple? How does what you admire enrich your life?<\/div>\n

Lately I have been reflecting on the people who are forces for good in my life. Most of them don't even know that they are influencing and helping me, but they are. Whenever someone does something thoughtful for me, I always think, "Why aren't I more like that?" I so admire people who act in kindness.<\/div>\n

I started this page with two mop-up tags. I added the stamped image over them, and cut the hearts from another mop-up tag. I noticed that the tags and hearts were distracting–they were too strong for the stamped image. I dry-brushed White Gesso and over the tags so that my focal point would stand out. <\/div>\n
