My October Design Team Creation for More Than Words Challenges

Hello Everyone!

"Sometimes fun comes in Splatters!"

Are you ready for a very fun and messy October Main Challenge?!

{Her Favourite Shoes}

This month's gorgeous graphic and the word LEISURE inspired me to create a layout using this photo of my daughter's favorite pair of sneakers that she had as a teen. A popular brand and worn by many of her peers, she really wanted a pair. It took her a while to save enough money to buy them, and once she did, she loved them and wore them at every opportunity. Many a sport activity and time of leisure did she have in these shoes! For the creative challenge, I used a CWS stencil and pink ink and white watered down gesso flicked from

my paintbrush to create some SPLATS.

Our Main Challenge is based on a word inspiration and a creative challenge.

Word Inspiration - LEISURE

Creative Challenge - SPLATS

What does the word LEISURE inspire you to create?

You can choose to use the actual word somewhere on your project

or simply be inspired by it. Since words are an integral part of our challenges, we want to know how this month's word stimulated your creative process, so please do explain in your blog post how
it inspired you if it isn't obvious in your work.

This month, our challenge concept is all about having fun! Remember when you were a child and you loved to play with paint and create splatters? Well, we at More Than Words still love to do this! Our creative challenge for you is to take your paints, inks, stains, etc and add SPLATS to your project.
