Hello my friends!
The challenge for the next few tags was to "step out of your comfort zone". Some of you may already know this, but for those who don't, I am legally blind. I obviously do have some vision, but my impairment makes some things difficult. I love art and do lots of art, but I have adapted my art to limitations, and avoid the things that are a little more ...difficult. So these tags may not be a stretch for many people, but they are for me. But that's a good thing! I just ended up more out of my comfort zone than I expected.
I got a new MFT stamp set called "Recipe for Happiness". I actually got the dies first and had to wait quite a while for the stamps. I thought the set was really cute and was anxious to finally use it.
I stamped and die-cut a bunch of the little guys out and had some fun colouring them in.
The colouring is what's out of my comfort zone. I have to hold a magnifier and get really close to colour, I'm sure I look pretty comical! After I coloured about 10 (okay, 11) of them I realized that I wanted much bigger Chefs to make my tags. So now I am out of my comfort zone again, for the same reason, and free-hand drew these Chefs based on my new stamp images. To finish the little guys I had to step out of my comfort zone AGAIN and cut them out with scissors, which is really hard for me because I cant cut and hold my magnifier at the same time!
I used Spectrum Noir markers to do my colouring and I used distress ink for the background with a Tim Holtz stencil and some distress paint splatters.
All things considered, I am really happy with how they turned out!
Thanks for stopping by!
