Size: 9"w x 8"h

I had this scrap piece of art background I made several years ago sitting in my stash...and decided to finally use  it. (see pic below). I cut some circles out of it around the areas of the previous cut outs using a circle die and punches.

I penciled in  my text circle area on white Canson Mixed Media paper wrote out the text with a Uniball Black gel pen. then adhered my art background to it, then adhered all to a white cardstock.

I REALLY like the end result.

this is the leftover scrap piece

On Canson Pro Marker paper drew out the large word, then erased the area for the first part of the quote. Outlined with a Zig Writer and text with a Juice Up pen. Colored with Posca colored pencils in various shades of autumn - even though we got more than 6" of snow so far...

Size: 5.5"w x 7"h

I created a doodled abstract design using ovals and used a large part of it for another calligraphy piece... so this frame off cut was lying on my desk. It was a touch to small for the finished piece so cut it apart and adhered it to the red textured cardstock adding the black corners to make it a frame again...

On Edge mixed media paper, wrote out the text with a Juice up pen and colored with Posca colored pencils and blended with a Lyra Splendor Blender. Adhered the frame and then adhered to the red cardstock. 

words: You ought to be thankful a whole heaping lot for the places and people you're lucky you're not. Dr Seuss
