I drew and scored the paint pallet adding dabs of fabric paint then left it to dry. I drew the paint brushes, scored and inked the outline then colored in. The quote is "All art requires courage." ~ Anne Tucker

This is pretty elementary and not quite how I pictured it, but it does represent my favorite class in school. How would you improve it?

I think if I added cuts of the elements attached with dimensional s it would add depth and different opportunities for placement.

I got side tracked...you don't know this but I was over visiting Darnell. Congratulations for the Honorable mention Darnell. She writes one of my favorite blogs and posts such creative and amazing cards. Darnell has twin grandsons about the same age as my grandchildren, and she is lucky enough to have the cutest playhouse I could ever image. So... now- back to present.

This sunshine card is so darn cute I sent it to the grandkids, but it's not my design. I spotted this on Pinterest made by: Cathy  After 2 rainy days and no longer babysitting - because they are in school all day - this smiling sunshine brightened my day.

Here's the thing...I can be inspired by so many cards and I enjoy recreating them, working with the supplies that I have...but it's so darn hard for me to come up with something on my own. Do you experience that? Sketches are helpful for making a unique card, but it's still - someone else that created the design.

Darnell invites us to join her for WOYWW. I just might. I took some pictures, perhaps I'll post it tomorrow.

Be well my friends...and craft on!
