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)

- Spray bottle with water
- Creative Hands - Flower Doily Stencil
