May Theme: Touchy Feely (Texture)
May 30th
Art Challenge: Textured Paper
Journal Prompt: I'm so not feeling it!
For this weeks challenge, I went shabby chic with a little bit of desert. The journal prompt "I'm so not feeling it" reminded me of being in a funk and not feeling the mood I'm in. When I get those bouts of "not feeling it" I tend to eat my emotions. Desert has always been my weakness, which led to my inspiration for this weeks challenge.
I kinda borrowed the quote "Keep Calm and carry on" but, instead I changed it to "Keep Calm and eat a Cupcake."

I used modeling paste to give the frosting some "texture", then I added some glitter to give it a little sparkle.
The Glossy Accents by Ranger, really make the cherry look shiny and gives it a little added texture. Please be sure to check out my process video for this weeks challenge right down below. Thanks for stopping by!
