Every month, a new challenge is posted in the Mixed Media Art Journey group, using Purdy Creative Artist Blocks, and it’s so fun to see how differently everyone responds to the same set of prompts!
For April 2018, the challenge is to:
- Create a tag
- use scrap paper
- add a border
- use the color Blue
- use a stamp
- include a Favorite Saying
I look forward to seeing what you create with these prompts! See below for an image of my response to this challenge, followed by all the juicy details on how/why I made this shaker tag.
You may have noticed that I “broke the rules” by not adding a border, or using a stamp.
This was intentional, because I wanted to stress that there ARE no rules with the Mixed Media Art Journey monthly challenge. If the prompts tell you to create an ATC (artist trading card) but you WANT to create a canvas… create a canvas!
The Purdy Creative Artist Blocks are all about getting you started making something, because sometimes we all fall under that blank page anxiety. It’s also fun to participate in a challenge like this, to see how differently everyone responds to the same set of prompts… but there’s nothing wrong with following your mood and going off course. On the contrary, this means you’re “in the zone” and it was a success!
In lieu of a Process Video or a Supplies Used list this month (feel free to send a message if you have any of those questions though!) I’d just like to share that, thanks to the help of a good friend, the Purdy Creative Artist Blocks are finally back in stock and you can grab your own in the Purdy Creative Things shop on Etsy.
