Updates & Round Two - #the100dayproject : 1/100-2
Posted by Kerry Wills on
when i figured out how many days were left in this [crazy, unpredictable, insane] year i decided to do a second round of the challenge that inspired me so much.
i'm using an inspiration wheel that i designed to help me each day. last time i had a sketch book and a color combo book and i'm elevating the challenge this time around. i vow to use the theme the wheel lands on, but i can also add whatever i want to it. i'm also going to keep track of the results, because i'm also a weirdo like that.

it's the day after the last day of #the100daychallenge and while i debated taking a break from creating, a friend asked me to make a card. so obviously, i had to oblige!

so. much. rainbow. happiness. i absolutely love it. there's a space between the large gold ampersand and the black frame with my bargello project that i think would be perfect for a painting. [then of course i'll have to add in another detail so i have an odd number, but anyway...]

i colored the tablecloth with a glittery pen for added shimmer - because obviously a fortune teller's table would be sparkly. the crystal ball has been covered with a silver coated die-cut circle.
and this is where the magic comes in. to show you how this card works, i created an additional sample...

the black lines around the perimeter of the envelope were added with one of my favorite pens. it's a black glaze pen and it adds the slightest bit of texture but writes so smoothly. it is also reflective in the light.
as for the card itself - i'll apologize now to anyone who might get or be offended [sorry momma!] with the saying on this card. i assure everyone it's all in good fun! [plus it's from the amazing cathy zielske stamp set and you all know how much i adore her.]
