Jeudi Journal

This time the quote is "Smile, it is the key that fits the lock of everybody's heart" and I thought that quite appropriate for Valentine's Day and I could use some hearts on it.  I had some left over from my February Diary so knew I could use them but what to do about the background colour.

Lightbulb moment!  The challenge over at Art Journal Journey is to use Yellow.  So what was the background colour going to be?  Yellow!  To be precise three Distress Ink Shades of Yellow with a fourth one through a stencil to make a border (and a couple of bits on the page too).  


Because the contrasting colour was going to be red (hearts) I thought I would dress her in greens and blues but then she could have a tweed coloured jacket.  She had to have a head on that would tilt slightly so the figure I was to use was determined.

So that it is - another page - only two more to go and then the journal is full.  Now what is it we are doing next week?
