The color scheme on this one was completely inspired by this strip of cutter quilt. It was the last piece of it that I had. It was gifted to me in happy mail ages ago. I hoarded it for a long time but am trying to reform my hoarding tendancies.
The fabric said late 40s or early 50s to me so I embraced the popular colors of that time. This is definitely outside my comfort zone but it’s good to stretch yourself creatively from time to time.
I thought shorthand pages fit the time period pretty well. I used a bit of lace and a fussy cut flower to finish it off. Oh yeah…couldn’t forget some words. The inspected by tag was in a little cup that sits on my craft space..I throw random bits in there all the time. Sometimes I even remember to USE them!
I hope you’ll pop over to Art Journal Journey and check out the other challenge entries for my July theme of Fabric, lace and trims…oh my!
