This month's quote is:
"Be a first rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else." Judy Garland.
I was inspired to use lots of color, my Borders and Jump for Joy stencils, and lots of stamps, to create this art journal page (I added the quote in Photoshop):
Hope you'll interpret this quote and share your creation with us at Artists in Blogland!
Thank you for visiting! I read and treasure every comment and will answer any questions as quickly as I can.

ReplyDeleteLove the whimsy in this- such a great way to capture the spirit of the quote- since you can be very very playful!
ReplyDeleteIt's fantastic, Jessica! Love all the colors and, of course, the quote!
ReplyDeleteGot my Windows and doors stencil yesterday! Added the quote and one door to a collage I was working on when it came. Will post later tonight.
Its totally a show stopper, fab work. Annette x
ReplyDeleteOhhh WOW I LOVE this one!!! The colors are just gorgeous, and the layers look so deep - like I could reach right in to the page! I adore how you used your stencil, and the details you added to her hair! Kinda reminds me of dreads!
ReplyDeleteMaybe that's because I've always wanted dreads.... I had a friend (a white Jewish girl) who had the most amazing dreads. They went down to her waist. She would wrap them around her head and tie them with a scarf which made her look a bit Egyptian. But she cut them this year. They were really heavy and she was getting headaches. :)
DeleteTerrific background. Love the Judy Garland quote.
ReplyDeleteI love this! What a gorgeous background of colors and fun borders interspersed. I am confused though, it this a mix of digi and paper arts?
ReplyDeleteHola Marjie! I did the background and stenciled the girl's form in my art journal. Then I scanned it, opened up the jpg in Photoshop, and added the quote digitally. So that's not my real handwriting... Also, for fun, I used a noise and then paint daubs filter on the black stenciled girl - just to play - before putting in the text. That made the black form look like it was raised up on the page.
DeleteLove your colorful backgrounds and doodles! That girl looks truly free and authentic!
ReplyDeleteStunning contribution Jessica, love all the colour and passion!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is fab - the black silhouette is stunning against the bright colours of the background - it really pops! Love the hair too!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! Thank you for the inspiration! :o)
ReplyDeleteGreat colors and contrast.
