‘She was a modern woman with a vintage soul – she came from a different time’
Hello, it’s Robyn with you today sharing how to create a colourful She Art canvas using a bunch of mixed media techniques. This canvas is inspired by the She Art of Christy Tomlinson, although I hate to admit that I’ve had the girl stamp sitting in my stash for far too long. I suppose she was just waiting for the perfect project to make an appearance in!
As part of this project, I’m also sharing how I use a technique of free journaling – trying to make a phrase out of a few interesting words. Each time I try this technique I come up with a different phrase – what will yours be?
