Another quick one today...
Today's theme's are "paisley" and the bonus them is "calligraphy".
I only did one card with the paisley theme, a 4x6:
 |
| I thought I would try to use stamps as hair, but I think I should have overlapped the stamps...maybe that would have been more hair-like in my eyes... on the positive side, I do love these stamps (the biggest paisley one is my favorite stamp, because look at the flower...it's a red clover (at least in my eyes)!!!) and I use them so rarely it's a crime! I used crayola 'super tips' markers to color most of it in...I do like how her bottom lip turned out...it looks pretty good. I chalk the rest of her up as a loss...or a lesson learned... |
I did several cards with the calligraphy theme. The first 3 are 4x6, the last one is 3x5:
 |
| Actual calligraphy...or at least as close as I can get...maybe it should be 'done with an actual calligraphy pen' instead... |
 |
| Again, this was done with an actual calligraphy pen. I like the 'L' in 'Look'... 'L' is my favorite letter to draw, because it's the only one that looks right to me... |
These last two were done using the tutorial found HERE. I like how they turned out so much that I should really start using this technique in my quotes in my art journal!
 |
| "Eyes tell lies." I think I am going to add some stuff into this one...maybe color it in too. I like that it's stretched across the page, dividing it into two separate spaces. I think something interesting could be done with that... |
 |
| And the only 3x5 in the group... This is the card that made me think I should use the faux calligraphy in my art journals. I like the 'S' in 'Sweet' and pretty much the whole of 'Clover', with the exception of the curlicue on the end of the 'r'...I don't care for it so much. |
