Today while waiting for bread to rise I had some fun creating another journal page. I used a background spread I had done a while ago and added a wonderful quote by Longfellow. Considering the grey clouds outside, it just seemed like a good choice. I started by adding an umbrella cut out of a page of text and then I added the quote.
Because I often end up leaving out words as I write, I thought it would be safer to write the quote in pencil first and then go over it with my Pitt pen.
And finally, the finished piece, complete with a few clouds and raindrops. It's hard to see in the photo, but the raindrops are made with metallic pens which give them a bit of shimmer. If only all rainy days could be this bright and colourful!
Your journal is awesome! VERY pretty! Love the quotes you shared in Beyond Layers as well. So true. And for the other one, you keep right on learning to dance!
