Hi there

Thanks for stopping by again. So glad you are enjoying our August Arty Challenge! It’s been uplifting for me personally, to see so much lovely daily affirmation card art popping up all over Facebook! You can always post your art in our AUGUST CHALLENGE GALLERY, on Clarity Worldwide.

Today’s challenge card? Creativity lives within me. And you.

I truly believe that creativity isn’t something reserved for artists. It’s something we all have. Sometimes it just gets buried beneath busy lives and routines, or the feeling that we haven’t got the time, or that we aren’t “proper” artists. Tosh!

That’s exactly why I’m loving this Daily Affirmation Card Challenge. Spending just twenty minutes at your craft desk each day can make such a difference. Today’s mixed media project is all about giving yourself permission to play, experiment and see where the ideas take you. There are no mistakes here—just opportunities to discover something new about your own creativity.

Day 4 – Creativity Lives Within Me

Before you dash off, I’d like to shine a light on one of the stamp sets I used today. The Wild Frame A5 Stamp Set is a real Clarity classic and one that I reach for time and time again. If you enjoy creating landscapes or building scenic backgrounds, it’s well worth adding to your collection. Better still, it’s included in our August Arty Challenge offer, so you’ll save 31% on this Clarity stamp set throughout August, plus your Club discount. All the non-Clarity products I’m using in the challenge are also 13% off, with Club discounts on top. If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to treat yourself, this might just be it!
