The Craft Barn: Q & L Challenge

This is the last challenge this year at the Craft Barn. I had lots of fun this year joining in and would like to thank the Craft Barn team for organizing these interesting challenges. Looking forward to what you have planned for us in the new year. 
Also thanks to all of you who visited my blog and left a comment. Very much appreciated. :) 
I also had lots of fun visiting your blogs and got lots of inspiration for future projects.

The challenge this time is to use the words FAITH and/or HARMONY in a quote or lyric.
I found a quote from George Washington with both words in it: 
"Observe good faith and justice towards all nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all."
With all what's going on in the world at the moment, I think this is something everybody should think about and take it to heart.  
 
  For the background I've used a wash of different Distress inks. I printed out an image of a united world and the quote as well. Added some Distress inks to both and glued them on the page. I finished it off by drawing the border.

I wish you all

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2015

 
Thanks for looking :)

The Craft Barn: Q & L Challenge

It's the penultimate challenge at the Craft Barn already. The challenge this time is to use the words HEART and/or RISK in a quote or lyric.
I finally was able to use a song of one of my all time favourite bands: INTERPOL. The song is called "Slow Hands" and the lyrics are: "Can you see what you've done to my heart? And Soul? This is a wasteland now"
I've made a mistake with the lyrics on my page, but hey...I left it like it is. :)

  For the background I've used a wash of different Distress inks. I've made a heart template and used Grunge Paste mixed with silver/grey acrylic paint with it. After it dried I've added some spiderweb stamps and sticked the hands on. I recently bought the Stampotique girl and thought she is just perfect for this project. So she went on in the middle of the heart. I drew a border around the page, wrote the lyrics around the heart and added some more spiderwebs.
 The stamps I've used are from Stampotique and Tim Holtz.
Looking forward to see what everybody else did. So will pop over to the Craft Barn blog now.
Thanks for all the lovely comments on my journey page. Very much appreciated.
