Challenge #3 over at The Craft Barn is to use strong and/or
miss in a quote or lyric.
After some thought it suddenly dawned to me: strong woman.
So I printed pictures of strong woman throughout history,
needless to say that there are plenty: Marie Curie, Queen Victoria, Florence
Nightingale, Jane Austen, Oprah, JK Rowling, Anna Frank,…
and glued them to a gelli printed background.
Because my page was already filled with the images I decided
to make it a double page spread (luckily I had also a ghost print) and add the quote
on the other side.
I cut out different letters from magazines, because the woman
images reminded me of a magazine spread, as first letter of each word.
I’m going to try and make a page with miss this weekend, I
already have it in my head, now just find the time to execute it
Beautiful quote and it's matching your images perfectly!
ReplyDeleteI think this is the first time I attempted a collage, I'm pretty pleased with the result.
DeleteFantastic idea to group the strong woman together for your page

DeleteLove the collage too! Great design for this page.
ReplyDeleteThanks, i'm loving this challenge
DeleteCool idea to use strong women to depict your very good quote. Good luck with page two. Two pages is beyond me.
ReplyDeleteI don't set out to do 2 pages each time, but if I find a suitable quote, have inspiration and time I do.
DeleteFab idea and great page.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteFabulous page and quote, wonderful collage of strong women.

Thought so too, very inspirational.
DeleteOh how beautiful. I like how you used some "ransom letters" to add to the quote. Of course, all those images complete the spread and compliment the quote, too.
ReplyDeleteIt took ma a while to search magazines for the wright letters in the wright fonts.
DeleteA wonderful spread with loads of fab images, like how you created your own two page magazine style spread:-) x
ReplyDeleteThanks, that's exactly the look I was trying to reach, glad it worked.
