52 QUESTIONS AND TECHNIQUES - TAG 5
This week's prompt was "How do I feel TODAY?"

Honestly, I thought a lot about this one. The one prominent thought was tired since I've been so so tired all the time lately but then I wanted something that's more specific for these last few days as opposed to the last few months and since so many friends around me are struggling and it's making me blue, I've decided to go with feeling blue. It's not even that I am sad for myself, but mostly at all the hardships my friends are suffering and how pensive it's making me.

The main technique I tried to use on this one was resist. I used clear embossing to stamp the "blue" and then inked all over the tag to make the word standout. Then I covered the letters with Tim's crackle paint to emphasize the feeling of feeling broken/blue. I then used alcohol inks to make the bling, ghost heart, and the shells blue. I also used the sparkling H2O's for the edges and inside the letters a bit just to give it a glimmer of sparkle. I used stickles to cover a white heart and put the two hearts to symbolize relationship related issues my friends are having. That's it. I wanted the whole card to be tints of blue.
