For this forthnight’s
Q&L challenge (for more details and the other wonderful entries please click here)
where the 2 words to choose from are moon an/or sensation I immediately knew my
quote I wanted to use:
Shoot for the moon even
if you miss you’ll land amongst the stars.
I think this is a
popular quote, I already saw some pages with the same or a variation on this
quote, but nonetheless this was the one I wanted to use.
This weekend I did some
clearing in my studio and while rummaging I found this background I wasn’t
completely happy with at the time I created it but now it was perfect for my
quote.
It reminded me of the
universe in some way.
The background was made with watersoluble crayons and a
babywipe on a gessoed page.
I added stripes in different colors of the same crayons to
create kind of a solar storm, some stars which I embossed with some holographic
embossing powder and some texture paste with glitters sprinkled in. I had
stamped and colored this fairy stamp which holds the moon and placed here on a
black circle (otherwise she kinda disappeared in the background).
This weekend my son got a telescope for his birthday and when
you look through a telescope to the moon you have a circle outlining.
So that’s why I created the black border, which was too plain
so I added some gold embossed stars.
The quote is written on a piece of paper towel which I turned
into a little canvas with glue.

ReplyDeletethx Ruth, I'm also very pleased with how this turned out.
DeleteIt's a great quote and I love how you've created the moon and stars!
ReplyDeleteThx Elaine.
DeleteBrilliant page background, reminds me of the Northern Lights, the transformations is wonderful, great textures and dimension. Love the quote on tissue paper, works wonderfully :-) xxx
ReplyDeleteThat's a better description, the northern light, thx.
DeleteLove that background, and the finished piece is a beauty.
ReplyDeleteThx Linda, tried to create a universe without the obvious blues and black and stars, I think I succeeded in that.
DeleteBeautiful! I like the gold embossed stars!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I just remembered to link to your sunday sentiments :-)
DeleteThanks for linking, Vicky!
DeleteI think I recognise that fairy... I dithered about buying it for ages because I wasn't sure how to use it! Great page, love your textural moon (and the fairy!).
ReplyDeleteI just liked the set when I saw it and bought it.
DeleteGorgeous moon!
ReplyDeleteThx Lena
DeleteFabulous colours and composition. Love that fairy stamp.
ReplyDeleteThx kaybee, the stamp is a bit fiddly to color in, not my area of expertise :-)
DeleteYour moon is just stunning, and I like the fairy, too!
ReplyDeleteThx, I like how the page came together.
DeleteIt was worth hanging onto that background. Love how you have stayed with those colours for your moon. Have seen it tinged with pink on occasions too.
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what I say to my husband when he gives me a look because I hang on to everything, one day it will come in handy :-)
DeleteThe BG is fab and you obviously held onto it for a greater purpose LOL. I love what you've turned it into.
ReplyDeleteme too.
DeleteLovely page, the moon is really striking :)
ReplyDeletethx.
DeleteGreat page! Love the quote and your moon! xx
ReplyDeletethx lesley.
DeleteI remember from looking through a telescope about the circle you described. And recreating it on your page made it even more special. I really LOVED the background with those glittery stars. They really shine. A beautiful way to decorate this fortnight's quote.
ReplyDeleteThx for the great feedback.
DeleteWhat a beautiful page
ReplyDeleteThx Fiona
DeleteVery beautiful moon and the fairy is fabulous. I like your use of a paper towel for the great quote. Have a great week ahead :o))
