Use a quote in your art. Now there's a prompt I can get behind! I love quotes and have lists of them (I love making lists) so the challenge here was choosing just one.
I had this simple background started but with no specific direction, so I decided to make my quote the direction. It's kind of like a journal page only it's not in my journal but I used it to explore some layer ideas.
Experimenting with the mixed media stuff still so it's got watercolor, acrylic, stencils, spritzed craft paint, marker and whiteout pen. Wish I'd thought out how I was going to write the quote more completely so it didn't look so scrambled....
And how could I not include a photograph with a quote? I love illustrating a favorite quote with a photograph and I think this first one is my fave quote of all time.....
Both of these are available in my start-up ETSY shop.

Your non-journal journal page looks beautiful, I like the colors, brilliant and happy. Those two photos are gorgeous, and I love those quotes. Congrats on your new Etsy store - I'll check it out and add you to my circle.
