The weather is pretty bad today so I had plenty of time for the new challenge at the Craft Barn. The challenge this time is to use the words HUG and/or NOWHERE in a quote or lyric.
I knew immediately that I wanted to go with NOWHERE and to choose the lyrics from a song of a band which I discovered recently.
The band is "Canterbury" and the song is: "Going Nowhere". Check them out, they are really good. Their CD is on constant repeat in my car at the moment :)
I made another page in my journal and got the inspirations from an article in Craft Stamper. For the background I've used white and light blue acrylic paints and some gesso and blue paint with a stencil in the corners. Then added a couple of stamps and some Washi tape. Stamped 3 stars on red paper, cut them out and glued them to the page. Finally printed out the lyrics and added them as well.
The stamps are from Craft Stamper magazine, Sheena Douglas and Inkadinkado.
Thanks for looking :)

FAB-U-LOUS!! I have the same Sheena Douglas stamp but have never used it; I love what you did with it here and the blue is gorgeous. The use of washi and the other stamps is awesome and the stars are lovely. Brillaint lyric choice. I'm off to have a proper listen. Have a great week ahead :o))
ReplyDeleteMy favourite colour choice - blue and red - they always look great. Not heard the song so I shall go and have a listen. Great art!!
ReplyDeleteoh what a great choice! I don't know the song either, will check it out.
ReplyDeleteYou found the perfect stamps to match these lyrics. I am so impressed with your use of the stamps with the washi tape. So ingenious. I'm off to see if I can listen to that song, since my computer is rather iffy when it comes to stuff like that.
ReplyDeletereally neat page, love the cracked effect.
ReplyDeleteFunny, on sunday we here in belgium had such a fantastic day weatherwise, it was summer, 22°C.
