express yourself with ART

Hi everyone， 

This is the new challenge at More Than Words. We have one main theme to inspire you and this month it's about Art Supplies.  I'm looking forward to seeing what you all come up with...have fun everyone & happy creating!

I used Palette Collage Paper by Tim and Brushes and Carte Postale stamp sets by AALL & CREATE to make this Art Journal page. I always think there is no right or wrong in art, just "Express yourself with art".

HOME

Hi everyone， This is the new challenge at More Than Words. We have simplified the challenges this year and the challenge no longer has two parts. Instead, we have one main theme to inspire you and this month it's about Home.  I'm looking forward to seeing what you all come up with...have fun everyone & happy creating!

I like the quote that I saw in the stamp sets. "There's no place like home, home is where the love is." and "A home is built with love and dreams." I show home love with the Handwritten Heart stamp by Dina Wakley.

I cut a few house shapes from wrinkle-free distress papers in my stash, then used a black pen to draw the outline, and stamped randomly. The small houses look so cute.

I place the stencil over the art journal and blend Distress Ink through the stencil. 

I doodle on the edge of the art journal. Draw some trees and stamp some flowers on the bottom.

Love Letters

Hi everyone， This is the new challenge at More Than Words. We have simplified the challenges this year and the challenge no longer has two parts. Instead, we have one main theme to inspire you and this month it's all about Love Letters.  I'm looking forward to seeing what you all come up with...have fun everyone & happy creating!

When I saw this theme, I imagined the mood of writing a love letter. For the background, I used Collage Paper Typography to cover the entire page and then used stamps to stamp many envelopes and postcard images on blank old book pages, then cut them out and collaged them. I used a feather and a pen nib to make a quill because I think the quill is a romantic element of this theme.

Perfect

Hi everyone,

The Theme of this month's Mini Challenge at More Than Words is Perfect. Welcome everyone to participate.

I made a card using Distress inks. I think the watercolor technique has a dreamy feel and that is a perfect match for flowers.
