Well, at least it's in my bag anyway!

Inspirational guide cards are designed to inspire your mixed media and art journaling practice and Kiala's cards are fun and creative, guaranteed to get you motivated!
I knew I wanted to decorate my little pouch from the moment I laid eyes on it!
It called to me to make it artsy. Really, it did.😸

The 2017 Empowerment Edition - Mixed Media Inspiration Deck |
 |
| Shattered, by Lizzie Mayne and Ancient Marks by Suzi Dennis |
After looking through the cards, I chose 3 that appealed to me and of course, the first step had to include stencils because I love stencils and they always give me a jumping off point in my art, no matter what kind of project I am working on...

| DecoArt - Aqua Sky, Sunny Day, Bubblegum Pink |
I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way—things I had no words for.

| Rubbermoon - Imagine, New Moon |
Did you know that the moon can set intentions, and clear energy? I like to mediate under the light of a full moon and can feel it's vibes and energy pouring into me, feeding my creative powers, so it's no wonder that I wanted to display the moon symbol on my inspiration pouch.

Now I love to sew and this seemed to be the perfect time to doodle with my needle and thread . While I admit to detesting the task of sewing a loose button back onto a shirt, I will happily sew on my art projects for hours...
I'm weird that way. 😜
And close-up shots of the sewing because hey, it's all about the details, right?

Mooning over this!
Love the way you included both paint and stitching! The beads are absolutely perfect where they are. Can't imagine it without them!
Wow, talk about thinking outside the paper, this is a perfect project for these cards! I have looked at that stencil and wondered how I could use it. Thanks for the inspiration!

I love the embellishments around the sun and the uplifting colors you used on a cold winters day. Surely brightened up mine! I love this!
Love, love, love your little card bag! What a great idea!
What a gorgeous bag!! Love the stencil and the stamp and especially the beads.
What a great idea to use the cards to colour and embellish the bag itself. Now the bag is its own inspiration/prompt!
Great idea!
