The course is over but we have a few weeks to finish up our work so I am working on my Gifts of Imperfection E course by Brene Brown this weekend. Week Four's lesson is about identifying our "Superpower" so we can apply it/them to doing meaningful work. Meaningful work feeds our spirit and makes a difference in the world - we are very fortunate if it also pays the bills. If not, then it is beneficial for us to find a way - volunteering, a side business or a part time job that will do it for us. Our Kryptonite is how this same quality can become a detriment if we abuse it.
I started both of these pages with watercolour crayons - the SU Bold and Bright & Regals sets!!
These are wonderful crayons that are rich and creamy and are very versatile because they can be used in so many ways. I scribbled all around the pages with the crayons and then just ran a wet brush over them - they melt into a puddle of colour which you can distribute as you wish. To add texture I applied several colours of watercolour to a back ground stamp by just rubbing the crayons over the rubber surface, spritzing it with water and stamping it onto my page!! I love the way it came out. I added my hand lettering and the borders with a fine tipped Sharpie once the pages were dry!!
One more lesson to go!!
