DAY 3 - Southerngals5x7

Oh yes!!

Day 3 and feeling amped!!!

This challenge has certainly made me step outside my comfort zone from time to time!!  I am using this challenge to try using colours I am not usually drawn to, and I find that being on a time limit allows me to not over think what I am doing.

I am loving learning that even 5 minutes is enough to be creative every day and flexing my creative muscles by having to be quick!

Don't forget to play along and use #southerngals5x7 to showcase your work on Instagram!

Southerngals5x7 Challenge

Hello all you fabulous creative humans!

The very lovely Tiffany over at @southergals_designs on Instagram has posted a fantastic creative challenge for us.

The rules are simple.
Create every day for for only 5 minutes for 7 days, starting on Sunday 29 August 2018, and ending on Saturday 04 August 2018.

I for one am super excited about this challenge.  I am not very good with challenges and end up petering out mid way through, usually because life gets in the way and I end up not being able to complete the required tasks.  BUT, being only 5 minutes for 7 days, I feel the is the kind of commitment I can confidently make.

I have prepared a few things for the challenge, as 5 minutes is not a lot of time!!

I have chosen to do this challenge in a Moleskine Pocket Sketchbook that I have had waiting on the sidelines for the perfect opportunity to debut itself.  I have prepared some faces by the lovely and talented @weelili_art on Instagram, as well as some fabulously witty quotes from Dyan Reavely's Dylusions stamps by ranger, called Laugh Til You Leak.

As for the other collage elements, I have set aside a page from a novel, a burlap tag, gel plate clean off prints, brown bag scraps, Tim Holts Tissue Wrap (Melange & Postale).

Along with the collage elements above, I will be limiting myself to a small selection of paints and tools.

• Gesso - Liquitex Professional
• UHU Glue stick
• Palette knife #4
• Pentel Pen-Touch Paint Pen 2.0mm (White)
• OHTO Fudeball 1.5mm (Black)
• Lyra Graphite stick (9B)
• Sharpie China Marker (Black)
• Spray bottle with water
• Creative Hands - Flower Doily Stencil
• DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylic Paint
• Quinacridone Violet
• Primary Cyan
• Cobalt Teal Blue
• Yellow Green Light
• Hansa Yellow Medium
• Dairyide Yellow
• Quinacridone Gold
• Paynes Grey
• DecoArt Metallics Acrylic Paint
• Splendid Gold
• Shimmering Silver
• DecoArt Neons Acrylic Paint
• Sizzling Pink

I am hoping there is enough inspiration in this little bundle to create something beautiful every day for 7 days.

If you would like to join along, tag your work with #southerngals5x7. 

I will be posting the pages I create daily on YouTube (Josocrafty) and photos on my Instagram @josocrafty.

Happy creating talented earthlings!!
