Gratitude

This week the challenge for the Art Journal Caravan was to think about what we're thankful for. It didn't take me long to put a list together, there is so much in my life that I feel truly blessed. My list was too long for a page, however, so I narrowed it down a bit.  I find that when I'm down or start to feel overwhelmed, just reminding myself of what I'm thankful for really changes my attitude. 

About this page:  The sketch is by me, using my Wacom tablet and Photoshop CC 2015.5 then I used elements from various kits I've purchased from ScrapbookGraphics and E-Scape And Scrap for the layout.

For the Take A Word challenge: Yellow

I used various kits by itKuPiLLi, Marta Van Eck, Tumble Fish Studio, and Holliewood Studios to create this image.  

Thank you for looking and have a beautiful day!

I sculpted and rendered the fairy in  Daz Studio 4.9, the picnic table and background are from Holliewood Studio, the bees are from Marta Van Eck, the border is from Miles Beyond the Moon (all at MischiefCircus), and the watermelons are public domain photos found with Google search.  

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Dreamer's Challenge: Crackle

Not with a club, the heart is broken,

Nor with a stone;

A whip so small you could not see it,

I've known.

To lash the magic creature

Till it fell,

Yet that whip's name too noble

Then to tell.

Magnanimous of bird

By boy described

To sing unto the stone

Of which it died.

~ Emily Dickinson

About artwork: Created using various elements from itKuPiLLi Imagenerium's digital kits, as well as textures, brushes and elements from my personal collection. The crackle effect was created both by brushes and by cracked textures using many different blending modes in Photoshop CC 2015.
