It wasn't until I had made my card that I discovered the quote is not by Shakespeare atall, sorry, I thought it was. It is attributed to George Santayana, although that appears to be in some dispute too, the more I read about it the more confused I got. My apologies, but I have at least learnt something from it all.
I have stamped a clump of trees in Crushed Olive DI in the bottom right corner and then stamped the guitarist in dark brown in the opposite bottom corner.
All the colours are drawn from the colouring of the quote, including using an alcohol marker to colour the edge of the mat layer. There are some tiny copper peel off corners added to give it a little lift, these also match the quote colouring, it's just a shame that William Shakespeare didn't write it!
Please pop over to The Male Room and take a look at the DT inspiration, I'm sure you will find something to spark your imagination, we also have a Design Team Call running.
I would like to enter my card in the following challenges:
Tuesday Throwdown - Anything Goes
Love To Scrap - Anything Goes
I think the quote is fabulous, even if it isn't Shakespeare. However, "If music is the food of love" - that works for your card too. I love the musical background, the earthy tone and that wonderful image. Great work. xx
ReplyDeleteWonderful card. Fabulous combination of digis and stamping. And the corner embellishments are the perfect touch. Very creative. Thanks for sharing with us at Tuesday Throwdown Challenge. Good luck. Hugs, Debi TT DT
ReplyDeleteSnap with the quote theme and the stamp Rocky. Think your grungy colours really suit.
ReplyDeleteGreat image to use in this way, with the natural tones. The sentiment is too good not to use, even if it isn't Shakespeare! What about
ReplyDeleteMusic oft hath such a charm
To make bad good, and good provoke to harm
From Measure for Measure
Fab card, anyway, Louise xx
