Good Morning all…
Today I am at Papericious Blog, sharing cards that I created using their Monochromatic Paper Pack.
“The comfort zone is the great enemy to creativity; moving beyond it necessitates intuition, which in turn configured new perspectives and conquers fears.”
– Dan Stevens
We do things the same old way because it’s comfortable. The risk in staying firmly inside our comfort zones is that it creates psychological barriers that can lead to real limitations. Because we haven’t done anything differently in a long time, we begin to think we can’t…. When it comes to creative work, I have a motto: as soon as you get too comfortable, it’s time to try something new. Being creative is all about being able to look at the world in a different way. Without new experiences, we plateau in a routine that leads to the creative block.
It was my resolution for the year 2018 to give a little twist to my style of creating. As you all know, I am more of using bright and cheery colors, to my projects. Also, hardly any project goes off without glitters, 3D flowers and lots of stamping. I challenged myself not to add too many details to the cards and yet beautiful and elegant cards with just focusing on the pattern papers. It was so much fun creating with Papericious Monochrome Paper Pack. The patterns and the quality of the pack made me crazily engrossed in making a huge pile of cards. I got so much carried away with my creations that I ended up creating more than I have imagined. With Valentines Day around the corner, I tried creating few cards around the Love Theme by adding a splash of reds and pinks with monochrome shades. Hope you like my cards as much as I liked creating them.
