The theme for the third Quirky
Dutch Summer week is playing with shadow. It reminded me of a photo I took in
my garden a few years ago. Our Hedera looked very bad that year and the sun was
shining through, making a beautiful stained glass like shadow on our new tiles.
First I collaged a
background in my red altered book. I took a photo before I added a watered down
acrylic layer of paint.
I attached the photo at
the left and doodled around. Then I added the letters, schaduw is Dutch for
shadow. I wrote the story of this spread with a black permanent marker and
added some white with a Sakura gelly roll pen. In the upper right corner I
stamped a cute birdy, which reminds me of a blackbird that was nesting in our
Hedera years before I took the shadow photo. I also added an I’m in the garden sign at the bottom of the right page. Just click the photo to have a closer look.
You can see what others
did for this week at Marit’s Paper World or the Quirky Dutch Summer facebook group.
wow, such a lovely page! I love the mosaic in the background too, similar to the tiles in the garden. Great thinking!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenDoor jouw reactie zie ik pas waardoor ik gekozen heb voor de collage achtergrond ipv verf! In mijn hoofd zag de pagina er totaal anders uit, hij groeide gewoon terwijl ik lekker bezig was. Ik ben zo blij met QDS!
VerwijderenI agree with Marit you have created a nice tie in between background and photo - nice spread
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThanks, Sharon. This spread just grew, it looked quite different in my head at the start!
Verwijderenamazed at how you have done this and so good to have taken the photo in the first place
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThanks, Margaret. My oldest daughter saw the beautiful shadows and told me to take photo's. The printed photo is not as pretty as the digital one.
