I'm sure by now you know I created this for Sheila at Orange Esmeralda, our wonderful host this month at Art Journal Journey with her theme Let's Celebrate. 
I actually BLATANTLY 
I printed the saying
then colored it using metallic Gelly Roll pens,
I used several acrylic colors to create and scrape the background directly on the book page.
I added three heart buttons to the mix.
"Life should not only be lived, it should be celebrated!"Thanks for joining me today at Art Journal Journey. I am so grateful you dropped by and I also appreciate that you take the time to support my art. Even though I may not say it often enough, I'm so grateful for each of you who visit.
Wonderful journal page with a lovely quote. I'm still bleary eyed from a day of celebrating and eating too much cake! Have a great day, hugs, Valerie

What a wonderful quote, stolen, borrowed, or not. (lol) I need those metallic gelly roll pens right now! I love how they add to your artwork. Happy Friday! Hugs...RO
ReplyDelete- a beautiful post this one ;O))
ReplyDeleteBeautiful page! I love the colours that you chose and the shimmer and shine from the metallic gel pen - perfect 😁. Happy Friday! J 😊
ReplyDeleteThat is a true fact Elizabeth. But way to easy to forget in the day to day of living. I love your background. It reminds me of those awesome eeling boat paints I photographed way back in September. Kind of grungy and yet gorgeous. Hope you found your holiday spirit seeing we are into the last few days. More snow coming down here right now. I think we should have a white Christmas since it is also suppose to snow Christmas day. (Of course then it can all melt:) ). Happy Friday. And have a wonderful Christmas. Hugs-Erika
