Inspired By

Kitchen Display is our theme this week and it was a great opportunity for me to pull out the wonderful “Go Wild” set from Power Poppy and water color my kitchen window scene with Distress inks and Catherine Pooler inks.

I confess that I had a very slow start with this one. I really didn’t have a direction, just some wood veneer paper and a textured brick background panel in may stash that I knew I wanted to use in some way. The muted colors had me stumped but I think I found a good compromise by using the wood, brick, and greenish gray panel for the background to my focal piece.

It’s not called a “challenge” for nothing. This really was challenging for me but that’s a good thing, right? When I told my doctor I was retiring last year, he asked me what I was going to do to keep my mind sharp. I told him not to worry about that, I had it covered.

We hope you’re inspired to join us this week. We would love to see how you’re inspired by Kitchen Display. ~MarDi
