Hello everyone! It's so good to be back creating and doing something that I love after a few months of absence. I have been caring for my mom during her convalescence, and we can now see the light at the end of the tunnel. During some down time, I created this canvas inspired by two things: the Blue Fern Studios Quatrefoil Panel, and a quote from Pinterest. Are you one of those that starts something and then find it's not perfect in your eyes so you put off finishing it? I'm guilty of that, and when I read this quote it resonated with me to do something with it to remind me that there is pleasure and growth in the process and finishing something is just as rewarding.
The delicious background was created using the Quatrefoil panel chipboard as a stencil and lots of application of molding paste, mists, ink and stamping. The word "Done" was created with the chipboard bits inside of the chipboard and stamped, inked and added some Diamond Dust to tone down the harsh black letters. Unfortunately, the pictures don't truly capture the rich saturated colors of those glorious mists.

I loved how the chipboard stencil background technique came out, and I will be making more creations with this same technique in the near future. Hope you stop by when I complete the second piece that I've been working on and I'll share a tutorial with you. Until then, do something you love and finish it! :)
