Take a chance, Reward Yourself

I'm sure you know by now that Bleubeard and I are hosting Art Journal Journey (AJJ) this month.  Our theme for the entire month is Anywhere, Anytime, Any Place, with Anyone.

Be aware please, even though I read each post linked through AJJ, I can't leave comments on any blog, including my own. 

Today Bleubeard and I have two pages for you.

Roll the dice.  Take a chance.  Details are below.

 

I began this page by laying down metallic turquoise acrylic paint onto 110 lb. cardstock.  While the paint was drying, I computer generated the sentiment which I cut and colored, first with yellow, then orange watercolor pencils.  When the paint was dry, I adhered the Chance cards from my very old Monopoly game.  I auditioned several embellishments, including hearts, buttons, and keys, but none seemed to work with the page.  In the end, I left it plain. 

 

For my second page,

 

I call this Reward Yourself.  Details are below.

 

I began by laying down the bottom two Community Chest cards from my old Monopoly game.  I carefully adhered the TH paper doll to one of the cards.  The other card was for the doll to lean against.  However, as I was leaning the doll against the top card, it shifted as I was gluing it in place.  By the time I noticed, the glue had already started to set.  So much for my careful planning.

 

Regardless, thank you beyond belief for visiting today, even though I am unable to leave comments on any blog including my own.  Bleubeard and I would love to see you at Art Journal Journey with your own interpretation of Anywhere, Anytime, Any Place, with Anyone (or Any Thing).
