Don't feel like painting? Here are some suggestions.
Some days you just don't feel like painting- whether you have the moody blues, or you're scared of that white paper, or you're just procrastinating. I have many cures for this. Sometimes I make cards, like this one, "Red Vibrations". I use "old dog" paintings and cut them up, add acrylic paint to brighten up the muddy colors, add embellishments, and before I know it, many hours have passed. The best thing is that my imagination gets sparked, and suddenly, I feel like painting again. This card has brads, price labels, grommets, and ultra thick embossing powder on it to really spice up the composition.
