"Inspired by Music" is this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge theme. I love listening to music and playing the piano, so I thought this was a banner theme! I also like retro things (like vinyl), so I was excited to play with Concord & 9th's Greatest Hits die set.
I glued some of Dina Wakley's collaged words to the background, then a scrap of a collage I'd made. I also cut out a section of scallop shapes using Studio Light's Scallop Fun die. I painted the scallops and added them in. I also painted the middle of my record, though I kept changing the color of that as I went along.
I thought some pale green might go nicely with this color palette, so I added in some Dylusions Mushy Peas paint, along with some white dots. I also added turquoise to the center of the record.
I finished off the project by drawing around the polka dots and around the edges of the album sleeve with Nuvo watercolor pencils. Then I used a typewriter to type out a favorite lyric line from Ben Harper: "We've all got stardust in our bones." I also added the word "hope" to the record.
