Be still and know that I am God. Psalm 46:10
Hey there from Nannyland,
One of the best things about being a colorist is that I'm able to sit quietly and let my thoughts wander to lovely places while I serenely add color and shading to my project. The only other pursuit I can think of that offers this kind of rest to my soul is walking in nature. Oh, and maybe quilting. When the world seems to be in a constant state of chaos, sitting down to color a beautiful piece of art, preferably a gorgeous lady in my case, whispers to me to slow down and breathe.
I chose a tranquil image called Honey Bee by Jeremiah Ketner to sooth my restless inner dialog and it didn't take long before my coloring took me away to my happy place.
I cut a gold foil frame in Cricut Design Space and sized it to my journal page and image. The blooms were created by adhering beaded flowers from my stash to purple foil card stock and then fussy cutting them. It's always a delight to find treasures in my gem drawer that can be adapted for use on my creations. A jar on my embellishment shelf is full of punched swirls in every color, ready to add sparkly accents to my flowers in place of leaves for a stylish flair.
The idea for my inspiration page came from the cute bee necklace my pretty miss is wearing. The metallic bee accent on the tag was created in Cricut Design Space.
I hope I have inspired you to engage in the things you love that bring you peace and joy.
