Ooops - I'm sneaking in a bit late with this one!
Time for another challenge at The Craft Barn and this time I have chosen the word STRONG for my quote book.
I am trying to find quotes which are meaningful to me in some way or another, and this one spoke volumes...
"Even strong women need an arm to lean on now and again" J D Robb
I've gone right out of my comfort zone with this layout. As you probably know, I don't rate myself as any kind of an artist, so to put a face I've drawn on my project is a bit of a biggie for me. I've been studying YouTube tutorials hard and I was inspired to paint this Whimsy Girl, and she seemed to fit the quote, so here she is...
Backgrounds are brought to you by Dylusions ink sprays in Bubblegum Pink, After Midnight and Vibrant Turquoise.
And Whimsy Girl II is brought to you by Caran D'ache Neocolor IIs and a few details added with Midnight Blue Cosmic Shimmer Mist.
I hope you like her.
A gorgeous work! The background is fabulous and love the cute face.
ReplyDeleteWonderful quote - beautiful face and fantastic colors. Bravo!!

A lovely, and oh so true quote, but your face is to DIE for. This is breathtaking and SO well done. Color me impressed.
ReplyDeleteWell this is lovely and you should keep practicing because once you put this work 'into' your comfort zone there will be no stopping you. You have captured your quote beautifully.
ReplyDeleteWhimsy Girl II is perfect, she's got a great hair style too. OK, the colour might be difficult to live with but she fits right in her page!

ReplyDeleteYour 'whimsey girl' is beautiful, Maisie, so sweet and demure. And I like the quote you have chosen, very true indeed.
