Background Beauty

Last week I found the most wonderful tutorial from Katie Kendrick   on making backgrounds..I was so inspired to give it a go...and in the process I was reminded of the beauty of the things we take for granted in the background of our everyday lives..so much to see if we really take a good look with open eyes and a open heart.

"Beautiful Life" Created on a book cover that was layered in distressed magazine pages using Nevr-dull,paint and gold leaf.

"Live Like you Mean it" Created on Plexi-glass,Gesso,paint and ink.

"Simple Pleasures" ACEO Art Card Created using distressed magazine,texture plates,and ink.

"Sometimes I need

only to stand

wherever I am

to be blessed."
