What beautiful colors, Jeanne! Your card is just perfect and also tender. I admire those of you whose hearts beat faster when you are coloring. I am also glad our art is big enough to welcome those of us who can not stay within the lines! That would be me for sure...I didn't have exactly the colors of this challenge, but I hope I got close enough with the Copic Markers.
I definitely wanted to use this fabulous Technique Junkies Danny Kaye quote: Life is a great big Canvas and you should throw all the Paint on it you can. It is a large stamp on it's own. I decided it needed to be on an easel (maybe to spotlight the colors). At any rate, the Stampland painter is an unbelievably detailed image. Perhaps you can see some of the scenes off to the right of my male artist. There are men painting and writing. There is at least one woman who is posing. The Roman coliseum is in the upper right hand corner. I decided to cut the canvas so I could place my quote inside the card. I felt that way, the recipient would have to study the painting before they knew 'it' all.
I had a delightful month being on the CC team. Thank you for inviting me. I hope the next time you have a chance to sling some paint, you'll do it with wild abandon! As for me...I am going to keep on coloring outside the lines...just better....

Fabulous card Susan! Really wonderful how you cut around the artist and inserted the colored canvas. And the detail of adding the paint to the brushes is the perfect touch!

What a wonderful card, Susan! Love everything about this with so much to look at and find! You are truly an artist regardless of coloring outside or inside the lines.

What a fantastic card Susan! Keeping the scene b&w let's the focus hone in directly to the "painting" and that wonderful quote. It has been nothing short of fabulous having you as part of the CCDT this month! Thanks for being willing to join us!
