Be Bold at ArtStacks

Hello! 

I had a long, drawn-out flu recently and I wanted to create but I didn’t have a lot of energy. I just felt like slowly doodling, so I created my background for this page entirely from painting and doodling! I found this a very relaxing thing to do.


I love this quote by Deb Weiers. The quote is printed on tissue so I layered it onto a blank space on the page and coloured some of the letters. I added a cluster on the left side of the page with one of Deb’s quirky little birds.


I used one of Deb’s amazing paintings to support the quote and finished with a few of her flowers.

Deb has four ArtStacks packs. I used three of them - Wonky Faces, Wonky Bits and Wonky Critters. You can see all four of Deb's packs here.

I think Deb Weiers is an amazing artist. I hope you love her unique style as much as I do!

Happy creating!
Heather

I'm Back With a More Than Words Project!

Hello there! I'm back from my break and ready to go!

In exciting news, there are big changes happening at More Than Words in 2025. This will be the last challenge in the existing format. Keep an eye out next year for news of the changes!

The December More Than Words challenge is about Traditions. This made me think about what Christmas traditions we have in our family and I realised that we always have a Christmas tree. Sometimes it's so tall it touches the ceiling and other times it's small enough to sit on a table but we always have one regardless.

On my page, the Christmas tree and the reindeer names are both from ArtStacks' 'Christmas Quotes' MiniStack. I stole the idea for the hanging "Christmas" word baubles from a similar design in the same pack. At only a few dollars, these little packs are a bargain!


I hope you can join us in our last challenge in this format. You could win a prize from ArtStacks!


You can find details of the challenge here.

Happy creating!
