Scrapping4fun challenges - Anything goes

After a very long time, made an art journal entry as my DT inspiration for Scrapping4fun challenges - Anything goes.

This page came off the back of the What are you feeling? prompts at the Mixed Media Place. I love the work the DT present there and have always wanted to join in, but somehow never happened. The topic this time is stress, and this quote immediately popped in my head... I had seen it on pinterest a few months ago. Its true isn't it, we all admire the beauty of the butterfly but seldom pause to think about the transformation it went through or the stress it must've felt just before the magic happened. I wonder if the butterfly (then caterpillar) believed it will live through that phase and come out looking so gorgeous that the whole world would admire it. I wish, for all of us to believe during our stressful times, that we will come out as much better human beings.



The colour palette is based on The Colour Room Challenge #170. Misting on the layout has been done using a toothbrush

  3. This is gorgeous and I love how your page reflects the theme and the quote. I also enjoyed the write-up, which was very inspiring! I love the different materials and techniques you used to create this page. I especially like the curly-cue (string?) that winds its way down the page. The color palette is really stunning and I really enjoyed looking at this piece from top to bottom and then again!
