TMD: Shaped by Gratitude week 2

I explained last week how I made the backgrounds for this month's theme.

Here's the page ready.

There was a lot of white near the spine on the right hand page so I used a patterned roller to add the turquoise paint.

I printed out some clipart arrows from the computer, cut them out and drew round them on compressed cellulose sponge.

I dipped the arrows in water so they became thick sponge.

I really liked the quote that Mary used:
“Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.” ~William Arthur Ward

I put the key words on the page with the arrows to show the turning.

I drew round the words with coloured pens.

Thanks for stopping by.
Bernice
