I tried to represent each part of the saying. The ledger paper was my nod to "save." I love a good play on words. One thing I did to add interest to the page, was weave washers along the edge. I like the texture that this adds. I was inspired to do this after seeing Ingrid Dijkers journals at a private workshop I recently took. Another trick I used on this page was the technique used to color the number. I started with a direct application of alcohol ink, but then added Perfect Pearls before the inks were dry.
I am excited to add this to the book I have been creating from my challenges. It has been a while since I added a page, so I was long overdue.
Britt and Cathwren said the workshop was wonderful and that you all really loved it. Your page is delightful.
ReplyDeleteVery neat piece! I love the beige/sepia background and the black against it. Nice stamping and elements to portray your old wives' tale. Thanks for sharing it with us at Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge. <3 Candy
