Q&L #5 Road and Art
Over at The Craft Barn the quote and lyric challenge this fortnight is Road and /or Art. So far I have been able to use both words of the challenge; I try to find a song lyric for one side of the 4 x 4 inch card and a suitable quote for the other. When I first saw the new words a line from a song immediately popped into my mind but it took a few days for an image to hatch!
Nowhere really does exist!
All I can remember of the song is just this one line and that is from the ‘chorus’! After mulling for a few days it suddenly occurred to me that we had visited Nowhere; it is a tiny area on St Mary’s, Isles of Scilly (highlighted in yellow on the map) and of course I couldn’t resist adding the hedgehogs! The background is a piece of shaving foam marbled paper – shaving foam with alcohol inks dripped in and mixed – the copy paper used the second generation inks.
Supplies used:
Inks – Versamagic Hint of Pesto
– Distress Ink Black soot
– Archival Jet Black
– Memento Rich Cocoa
Stamps – Inkylicious Take Flight
– Cute Companions grasses
– Penny Black Tiny Wishes
– PaperArtsy birds and branches
-Tree unknown!
“All Art is but imitation of nature”
This is a bit of a wishy washy piece but there wasn’t enough time to re-do it so it has to stand!
Supplies used:
Inks – various Versamagic
Stencil – Imagination Crafts Flourish
Stamp by Stampin’ Up (Thank you Leslie!!)
Thank you for looking x

Adore them both and that you have been to nowhere too – LOL. Thanks for the heads up on all meanings for ART! Gosh didn’t realise there were SO many! BJ
I love the hedgehogs! Too fun!!!! Thanks again! Nikki
Great song and well done on finding a place called Nowhere!! Love your subtle colours too!
The Road to Nowhere is so cool! I love the little hedgehogs who are on there way there. Your Art side is so pretty, love the gentle colours. Thank you for the visit! xx
Love them both Lynn, but really like the hydrangeas.

Two great pieces of art. Love how you are managing to do both words every time. Both sides are beautiful, love the fact that you’ve been to nowhere.
I like both pieces–especially those adorable hedgehogs!
Thanks Lynn now I have that lyric in stuck my head and I don’t know any more either! Those hedgehogs are so cute. I love the soft tones of your second piece – not wishy washy at all.

I hope those little hedgehogs are using the Green Cross Code!
Lovely cards Lynn, great songs too.
Have a great weekend, Sam and Poppy xxx
Great pages, and cute hedgehogs!
Anybody who makes art for BOTH words in the challenge is NOT ALLOWED to call her art wishy-washy. Both are fantastic. I loved the back story of the Road to Nowhere and of course, the cute little hedgehogs.
Love both and the hedgehogs are a cute addition. Who knew that Nowhere is somewhere! I remember the song well.

Love both sides of your card Lynn, beautiful stamping. Had a quick stroll through the rest of your Q&L cards and can’t believe I haven’t seen them before! I must make sure I make time to comment a bit more:)
