Bleubeard and I are hosting Art Journal Journey this month with our theme What's your style?
But first, I'm starting with a quote, which qualifies at Try it on Tuesday's latest challenge which is Add a quote.
The quote I chose was Play the hand you are dealt.I have included a few detail shots below.
I started this page by washing two watercolors over 110 lb. cardstock. When dry, I glued six playing cards from my stash to the page. I then computer generated the quote which I intentionally cut in wonky shapes and outlined using a black Sharpie fine point pen. Next, I stamped the words. I used both green and black ink to fill in the stencil which had different size circles. Thank you ever so much for visiting today. Bleubeard and I
are delighted you joined us and hope to see you at Art Journal Journey with your own take on What's your style? and at Try it on Tuesday's challenge which is Add a quote.
Sometimes playing the hand you are dealt takes immense amounts of courage doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteLove your creation.
Very cool! Love the whole page, quotes included.
ReplyDeleteI remember my mum saying it was not always easy to play the hand you are dealt with and throughout life I have come to know this quote time and time again. I love your page Elizabeth and that guy you used is perfect for it.

A fantastic page and inspiration and the quote is so appropriate for the times we are living in now, my mum would have added do get on with the day to this quote.
ReplyDeleteStay safe

What a fun page Elizabeth. This is perfect for Try It on Tuesday. Thank you for sharing it with us. I like the man sitting on a card. I also like how this is really your style for your challenge at AJJ too. You're so good at taking a quote and then showing us that quote. I hope you didn't get too much horrible weather. And aren't continuing to get it today. What a giant storm and what a mess. I'm still in the 6-12 snow zone but looks like there will be a lot of ice overnight first. Stay safe. hugs-Erika

ReplyDeleteNow, I'm singing the song, The Gambler by Kenny Rogers: You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away, know when to run...
