Love is in the Air-Day 4

Day 4...I am learning so much already. Like even when I think I'm tired and just want to sit on the couch and watch TV...if I go to my studio, turn on my favorite tunes and start working...the ideas come. My creativity kicks in and before I know it an hour has passed. I'm left feeling refreshed and inspired. Love it!

This is a two page art journal spread from my Body Restoration class with the amazing Melody Ross. Yellow and turqoise...my two favorite colors.

Last night I began piecing together a special collage for a young couple getting married today in the Nauvoo Temple.

I don't know the couple but was asked by a friend to create something for them. Aren't they darling?

Over the the past 2 days I've been letting the ideas for this piece simmer. Honestly I wasn't quite sure what would happen.

I thought about what it means to be sealed in one of our Temples...the sacredness of it as well as the love these two have for one another...quite obvious in their photos don't you think?

Yesterday I printed off phrases along with their names and wedding date. Later last night I collaged a few pattern papers on a canvas, arranged photos and words around till I liked them and snapped these photos to share.

Obviously it's not finished. Still lots more to do with the background...paint, stamps, rub-ons and maybe even tissue paper to add texture. Next I'll decoupage the photos and words on then embellish with hearts and maybe a flower or two.

I hope this sweet couple loves the finished piece!

Here's a few Prompts today:

1. I love making cards! Why not sit down and create 2 or 3 cards. That way when you need one...they are ready to go.

2. Create a few fun embellishments. I love making tags and flowers. It's always nice to have extras on hand.

Quote:

"Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring."
Oscar Wilde
