“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.” (Dr. Seuss)

I love this quote and absolutely HAD to find a way to include it in my art journal.  I made this background using Distress Ink applied with blending tools through stencils.  I used warm colours (oranges) on the top, and cool colours (blues) on the bottom, and separated the two with a feather pattern stenciled in blank ink.  Using the blending tool and a little more ink, I softly blended a little ink around the edges of the page.

I printed the words on my computer, cut them out, and individually glued them on around the tops of the feathers.  The felt sun image worked nicely as a final addition.

Art journaling provides a beautiful backdrop for saving a treasured quote.
