Today I am joining Valerie, who is hosting Art Journal Journey this month with her Heavy Metal theme.
I'm working in my new watercolor paper altered art journal. I'm focusing on silver and gold today.
I'm using the old adage: Make new friends, but keep the old.
One is silver, the other gold.
I'd love to make friends with this lovely vintage lady.
The focal image began as part of an old cardboard box that originally held a lady's hat. It was quite old and deteriorating, so I cut the image into an oval so it would fit on the page in my large watercolor paper journal. When I adhered the image to the page using a strong glue stick, it was a bit off center. When I moved it, part of the back didn't come off the page. I didn't dare try to adjust it a third time. I computer generated the sentiment, then used a silver Krylon pen to add silver and a brush to add gold fluid acrylic to the words.Thanks so incredibly much for visiting today. I hope to also see you at Art Journal Journey.

That's a lovely page, my Great Auntie always used that quote! Thanks for another entry for my heavy metal challenge! Hugs, Valerie
Very pretty image Elizabeth and a good quote too of course :) I find it's not easy to make friends nowadays.
Brownies! I learned that song in Brownies :) Fond memories.
I agree with Divers and Sundry, text reminds me of Brownies! Picture reminds me of the Betsy-Tacy book series by Maud Hart Lovelace
Wow this is so elegant. I really love this.
How beautiful! I love this journal piece.
Stay safe. Be well, dear Elizabeth.
So lovely. Now I have an earworm because I learned that round in Girl Scouts 😺
What an impressive, beautiful journal page with the slogan. It's great how you designed it. Your idea is so great!

Nice take on the challenge. I hadn't even thought of that quote, but now that you mention it, I know that quote. It is perfect for this challenge! I like how you created your page with it. Hope you had a nice day. It felt like spring here for a day. Hugs-Erika
Oh, beautiful! I didn´t know that quote, this is perfect and so beautiful!
Oh, I haven't heard that saying in such a long time. Very pretty lady, too. :)
What a an elegant lady but best of all is that you have used one of my Mum's favourite quotes. It took me a while to understand what she meant! Hugs, Chrisx
I've always liked that quote. It is perfect with that graphic!
A great sentiment and a beautiful image! xx
I like that vintage lady, and the quote is good too.
