#the100dayproject : 69/100
Posted by Kerry Wills on
i started the front of the card with a white panel that i decided to stencil. i masked off sections of the stencil creating a bit of diagonal design line down and across the panel. beginning at the top i used squeezed lemonade distress ink and gently applied color. as i moved down the stencil i intensified the color and near the bottom i added some mustard seed. using black ink i stamped the sentiment "have a happy day" which is a fun pixelated font.

back when the prompts came out for this monthly challenge, i looked ahead to start thinking about what i would want to focus on each day.
this topic scared me - mostly because once you say something out loud it becomes real, and that can be scary. imagining something in your head is one thing, but once it's out there - that's totally different.

Posted by Kerry Wills on
in about two weeks i'm planning on beginning a project called the 100 day project. you can check out more details here. it's my intention to make a card [or a few of the same design] everyday for 100 days. i think that in order for me to be successful at this, i need to plan ahead.

march meet the maker : day 21 : change
Posted by Kerry Wills on
but i'm learning that nothing changes - if nothing changes. it's very similar to the saying that if order to get something you've never had, you have to do something you've never done.
