If you are on Facebook, I have set up An Attitude of Gratitude Journal Challenge group where you can share your thoughts on the daily theme or link your blog or add a photo.
Originally I wasn't going to have a Facebook group but there are a few people who are following along who don't have blogs or Flickr accounts themselves or who are making lists but not doing any art so I thought I would give a forum for that.  The group is open for everyone so do join in.

Here on this blog I am going to share how I made the page for today's prompt on Creativity.

Today's art challenge was to 'draw freehand using any media you own'.

I forgot to photograph what I did as I went along so it will be mostly writing today!

I started by putting some 'clouds' of gel medium on the page ~ which you can't see in the photo and which actually didn't work well because I was rather too sparing with the gel medium.  When it was dry I went over the whole page with Distress Ink.  I started with Tumbled Glass and then added Faded Jeans.

I then started drawing with Inktense Pencils.  Any watercolour pencils will do!  I drew the tree, the grass and the stream and then used a wet brush over all the drawing.



I added a few highlights with a black pen and a white pen.  I stuck on the bible verse and added my journaling.

Remember you can interpret the challenge in any way you choose.  This is just my interpretation. 

Have fun.
