One Little Word - Word Up #75 DO

I created this LO for the One Little Word challenge. Two simple letters. DO. It resonated within me and I had to get the words that kept going over and over in my head out on paper. I drew inspiration from flairs designed and made by an exciting new business StudioFourteen40.

Its really something quite different for me, I think. Sure it has the usual mixed media, but I don't ordinarily work with such soft, feminine colours. They seemed to suit the black and white photo though. Plus I felt that if I used my usual palette of bright, bold colours it might seem as though I was yelling at myself. I know. Weird huh?! Perhaps even with ourselves we should be gentle? Now I'm rambling!

Anyways if this word strikes a chord with you then do the challenge LOL! You can find all the details HERE. Thanks for the prompt girls. I'm looking forward to the next Word Up!   :)

    We should definitely be gentle with ourselves :) I think the white space works really well.
