I've been looking to make some 'quote boards', which are pieces of artwork that use quotes on them. I'd saved some quotes in my phone for future use.... Hey, you never know when you might use them!
I made some boards up, by sticking 4 sheets of thin card together, dry & flatten under a book. I then added texture by sticking ripped book pages & paper towel onto them & give them a coat of paint... I use gesso or any paint I have to hand & in a quite random way & then leave to dry. Well, I say leave, I tend to help it along a bit with a heatgun! Then they are ready to use! I made 3 boards altogether.
For the first board I chose this quote...
I used leftover tester pots of emulsion, acrylic paints, Caran D'ache watersoluble crayons, Distress Stains. I used a cog mask & punchinella for the background. I also used my Brother p-touch tape machine for the text, some little black gems & a flower peel-off sticker.
Thanks for stopping by!

" If you have good thoughts they will shine from your face like sunbeams & you will always look lovely." - Roald DahlAs soon as I read it, I could see the finished piece in my mind!

That's a great quote & it works well with the lovely canvas.
