This page has taken a while but I finally pieced all my ideas together! It started with the vibrant colour faux batik background. The silhouette was a struggle but after several attempts I got there in the end! There are so many fabulous African proverbs out there but the one I decided on reads 'I pointed out the stars to you but all you saw was the tip of my finger'. It seemed to strike a cord with me!
I made this art journal page over the weekend for the following challenges:
Art Journal Journey: Africa
Our Creative Corner: Silhouette
One Stop Crafting: Colour Challenge
Raise the Bar: Anything Goes!
wow, this is really striking x
ReplyDeletewhat an eye-catching card you've created! I love the bright colorful background with a contrast of the black silhouette in the foreground... it's beautiful my favorite part is your sentiment going around half the card, very creative! Thanks for playing along with Our Creative Corner this week, hope we see you again
ReplyDeleteThis is great and well worth the time it has taken you. i love the background- the colours and shapes. The silhouette is striking and just right. Never heard of the quote before, but it is a good one.

ReplyDeleteWell if that isn't a thought provoking sentiment, I don't know what is! I was in a trance looking at the shapes and colors of your background and I think you've done an exceptional job on your silhouette. It may have taken you awhile to finish this, but you've completed a gorgeous card!
