I created the background using a doily stencil and various paints. Then I did a bit of stamping and a bit of colouring with other paints. I wrote the quote, cut it out and outlined it with some ink. This isn't what I set out to do, but I think I like it.
I'm looking forward to seeing all the other entries; the diversity is always so inspiring and everyone is always so supportive. If you would like to learn more about the Q & L Challenge just visit here for the rules and how you can participate.
Until next time...............

I've been meaning to stop by several days in a row, but life has gotten the better of me, I fear. I love your quote, and if you made it up yourself, you are to be commended. Lovely, lovely background and stamping, too.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks Elizabeth, you are always so generous ~ I know what you mean about life getting in the way. My to-do list is a great example of one step forward, two steps back, haha. Enjoy the rest of your week and I hope you have a lovely weekend ahead :o))

DeleteI like that doily stencil and your lettering. Good quote even if you did make it up Mo. We could all do to listen to those words
ReplyDeleteThank you Lynn ;) I was quite happy with my writing for a change; I usually avoid making it 'public' lol I think it depends on the pen too, i'm sure it does :o)) xx

DeleteNot thought of using a doily as a stencil before, love the effect though and your quote- so true
ReplyDeleteThank you kindly Julie, I'm so glad you like it. I bet using a real doily would be pretty cool too, but it was just a stencil I used. :o))

DeleteGreat quote, but not so easy to accomplish methinks, thanks for the visit BJ
ReplyDeleteThank you BJ. You are probably right. But I try. :o))
DeleteA great quote - sounds as if it may come from a novel. A fabulous background and lovely image. I've never used mine so I really must remove it from its packaging and ink it up.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks Maggie, I'm glad you like it. :D
DeleteI've said it before but, it's worth repeating, you are s-o good at layering/depth in your art. Great quote too.
