Creative Solitude

Phylline says, KAYA!


Hidden Journalling (beneath the flower):
Every kind of creative work demands solitude, and being alone, constructively alone, is a prerequisite for every phase of the creative process.


Supplies Used:
Paper : Urban Lily Cheeky
Others: Urban Lily Accents (bird),Technique Tuesday Swirl, Prima Flowers, Heidi Swapp Puffy Floral Center, red bling (dot for letter i), MM red paint, MM glaze, black mesh, acid free chipboard, glitters, lace and rik rak, black plastic ring, black aqualip, white brads, Sizzix die hinges, embossing power, Fruit Smoothie Sizzlit die (Solitude), hand cut title (Creative)

Techniques:
The bird was cut from the Urban Lily Accents paper and embossed to give a raised and glossy finish. The picture wasn't enhanced because it was originally taken in black and white. The title "creative" was handcut using red Bazzill CS, while "solitude" was cut using sizzlit die backing it up with 2 layers of acid free chipboard, painted, inked and topped with MM glaze to give a glossy look. The edges of Prima flowers were dipped in glue and sprinkled with glitters. The Technique Tuesday swirl was also painted using MM paint and glazed and attached to the flower. The journaling was printed in white CS, attached using sizzix die cut hinge and white brads beneath the prima flower.
