Strollin'

Hi there, I'm joining again a challenge at Words & Paintery , well I must say that I am not an Autumn or Winter girl, but I do love the Autumn colors. So therefore this challenge was perfect.

Well it take a looooonnnnngggg time before I finish all my Prince pages that I want, but it doesn't matter, because they are all created with love and therefore it will take some time, sorry if you get bored of his photo's, lol, 

I added some packing paper behind the photo and some orange netting from oranges behind the photo. A piece of fabric was sprayed with orange and brown ink spray. I added leaves around and created gold accents with mica powder. The metal flower and butterfly were first added with some gesso and afterwards sprayed with brown, red, yellow spray ink. The feathers were just sprayed with red, brown and orange ink and at the chipboard piece "beautiful" I added some gold mica powder as well. Finished with some stickers for the title , some wooden pieces and a golden bow. 

For the title I used the song "Strollin' " , thought this would be perfect with the photo;

"Close the shop, let's take a ride, strollin', strollin' 

Take a break from 9 to 5, we could have fun just strollin'

It's so great, so great to be alive, rockin' , rollin', oh yeah.............." 

Some close ups for a better look 

Thanks so much for taking a peek !

Words & Paintery Challenge

Hey you all, sharing a new Prince page with you all today and submit it for the current challege at Words & Paintery.

So here's my page. I started with a white background and added some watercolors and mists on it in purple, red and blue. Then I stamped lots of butterflies all over. On a star stencil I added red acrylic paint, added the photo on it and two bling circles. Finished with some flowers, gears and wooden squares. 

Well since I create lot's of Prince (& Mayte) pages, I was inspired with a song a again. This time it was P-control. It's worth it to read his lyrics if you don't know them. Some of them are autobiographic and some of them has some interesting messages in it. So if you like to see more of my Prince pages you can always check my "Prince" section on my blog. 

Thank you so much for taking a peek .

Words & Paintery Challenge

Hi, when I finished this page, I came across this challenge at Words & Paintery  and thougth, hey let's give it a try

Here's the page I created. Still inspired by Prince's music, still after more than 30 years I love this man and his music. I started to read all song lyrics and I know now that if you really want to understand his life, you have to read those lyrics, because lot's of them have a message or are even autobiographic. It maybe sound strange that after 30 years I started listen more to the lyrics, but probably because I still am not able to accept his sudden death and I want to figure out if I can learn something from his songs. Yeah I know, I am a weirdo, lol. 

The song for this page "Rock 'n roll love affair" is from his last cd from 2015 and it's such a great song while driving in your car, turn the music volume on to LOUD and sing your lungs out with the lyrics. To me just a happy song, nothing autobiographic in this one, just one with a great rock'n roll beat. 

And like I always do with my Prince layouts, I put a few lyrics with it, so here you go; 

She believed in fairy tales and princes

He believed in jazz, rhythm and blues

And this thing called soul

He believed in rock and roll
