I thought this was interesting I found on another board:
I do have a way of splitting up the steps of making a project from beginning to end. This works for me
because I only need to focus on one step or stage of the project at a time, rather than the whole project.
Step 1 - Background (choose substrate and start applying colour and texture (Ink , paper, paint with gesso, molding paste, etc underneath)
Step 2 - Feature Image (Is it going to be stamped direct onto the Background, stamped onto a new piece and layered, image transfer onto fabric, collaged work, abstract all over or multiple images?) i do find at this point my feature tends to be people/faces or shapes.
Step 3 - Embellish. This is when you add all those finishing touches with the masses of stuff you have collected (rub ons, more stamping, words, buttons, fibres/ ribbon, chipboard shapes, german scrap, charms...the list is endless)
