Loosening Up

 

I was in my head and needed to loosen up today.  Finger painting is now my favorite way to do that!  After it dried I added the circles and foam number stamps and they are wonderfully incomplete stampings.   In the process I learned that I loved the multicolored circles.  Getting painty let my muse know I was ready to get busy!

As this layer of my journal page was drying, I still had a  palette of happy colors – so I brought out my tags.  I just pressed the tags into the palette – you can tell when there was plenty of paint on my palette and when it was starting to dry up.

 

Linking up with Paint Party Friday and Julie Fei-Fan Balzer.  Check them out for lots of creativity!

    Carolyn, you sound like a fun person to do crafts with. The “lay the tag into the paint” method is one I have tried and it is such enjoyment. I love the colored circles on the brilliant colors. And of course those tags are wonderful. Thanks for dropping by.

    I love the colour. It’s a great way to use up your spare paint. I’ve got a full page downstairs I pressed over a very wet painting yesterday and it picked up all sorts of interesting details. I can’t wait to have a go at creating something from it.

  • Nordljus January 27, 2012, 4:00 pm

    What beautiful colours! And I love those colourful circles! Circles make me happy :). HPPF!
