Creating Unique Inspirational Quote Cards

Posted on by

I’ve always loved collecting inspiring and motivational quotes, so I decided to create my own personal deck of quote cards. I started by cutting out 30 cards from watercolor paper, each measuring 3.5×4.5 inches. Using colorful watercolor paints, I’ve made each card unique by painting organic, random designs. To add a polished touch, I rounded the corners with a corner punch.

So far, I’ve completed 6 out of the 30 cards. I’m not in a rush to finish—I’m taking my time with each one to slow down, be present, and fully enjoy the creative process. My latest creation features a girl with curly brown hair, along with my own quote: “Dream BIG and make it happen!”

As I continue working on this project, I find joy in the journey rather than focusing on the destination. It’s a gentle reminder to embrace the process, knowing that each step leads to something meaningful and beautiful.

I hope this inspires you to create some art today, thanks for stopping by!

Mixed Media Inspiration Angel

Posted on by

I’ve been waffling different ideas of how to combine my love of inspiring quotes and phrases with my art. I love painting angels because they give so much peace and serenity. Then I remembered an old book I had in my library by Kelly Rae Roberts, “Taking Flight.” There was a project in the book that inspired me.

I looked to my past angel paintings in my journals for more inspiration and created a sketch on a 9×12 inch piece of watercolor paper. After I painted her, I added the phrases to her dress that I thought went well with the main motif of believing in yourself.

In the creation process, I experimented with new techniques; some worked out great while others were a complete blunder. But I just rolled with it and ended up having lots of fun. It was quite an adventure to say the least! Below are images for my finished art.

Would love to know your thoughts, thanks for stopping by!!
