Breathe in, breathe out. Repeat as necessary. This week at Shopping our Stash we want to see what relaxes you. For me, that is definitely art. I can manage to put the world aside and create something beautiful, and that brings me a sense of calm nothing else does.
Supplies: PTI paintbrushes; Paper Smooches sentiment; Distress inks for watercolouring; Palette Noir ink; Lil Inkers stitched rectangle die
Something else I like to do when I'm particularly stressed out? Make a card for myself, kinda.
Supplies: Dusty Concord distress ink; Versmark & clear EP; Lil Inkers stitched rectangle; flotsam & jetsam for embellishing; Distress inks for watercolouring
Even if card-making or papercrafting is your de-stresser, make sure you use something that shows that (you know there's lots of adorable stamping sets out there!)
So what helps the SOS crew de-stress?
xoxo,
Jessi

Yep, ART-ing is very therapeutic and love that you captured that with art supply stamps! Love the water coloring/splotches and that 'kinda' card for yourself!
I just love this card! The softness of the water colors and that sentiment so speaks to my life right now! Thanks, Jessi, your project gave me just the lift I needed today!

The sentiment just says it all. Fab. card. While knitting de-stresses me Colouring is my meditation.
These are both excellent! Perfect for this challenge. And I think I know what I want to do for it! All I have to do is actually get it made. Ooh, the stress. :P
Lovely artistic cards, Jessi!
