I always have liked the look of white on kraft, don't do it a lot, haven't always liked my outcomes, but I like today's. My white chalk ink is bone dry so I used white pigment, then Distress on top. I used seedless preserves, faded jeans, forest moss and twisted citron. I didn't paint the whole thing with the colors, wanted to leave some white. I suspect chalk ink would have created a whiter look. I thought about splattering some white but decided to leave it alone.
Today's CAS is all about a healthy new year. I'm a firm believer if your mental health isn't good, the rest of you isn't. Doesn't matter how much weight you lose, how much you work out. I have been working on weight loss since July, sort of a standstill since Christmas, but I certainly have been working on my mental health with exercise, mindfulness and lots of healthy food. I'm positive spring will come and that I will have a pot full of pansies on my front porch again. Also creating something everyday has been a lifesaver!!!!

This is stunning, Jean! I love the way you laid down the color and I love that you left so much white. Great take on my challenge! There might not be anything healthier than a positive attitude.
