Journal52 wk 10: Art for a Cause

So here is the next page in my art journal.

The promt is: "Art for a cause".

As I donate money to the 

Make-a-wish foundation

that is what this page is allabout.

Make-A-Wish® grants the wish of a child diagnosed with a life-threatening medical condition in the United States and its territories, on average, every 38 minutes. We believe that a wish experience can be a game-changer. This one belief guides us. It inspires us to grant wishes that change the lives of the kids we serve.

I give money to this foundation, because I think children should be happy

and laugh and live. Hope this way I can make a difference.

I started to paint the page in my book sky blue

with a touch of white.

As the symbol of the foundation holds a star,

I used Michael Strong's larger star

stamp and embossed it with dark glitter blue

embossing powder.

Then I took this cloud template and

white paint.I covered the star,so it

wouln't get paint on it.

This is how the page looked when i took 

the template off.

Then I took this Stampotique stamp to symbolize

one of the children.I stamped with archival blach

and colored the child with distress paints.

I was tempted to leave the page like this,

for it shows the helplessnes of the child.

Then I added some small stars and thought

of those kids who had their wishes granted and are 

now up there among the stars.

I found this beautiful sentiment

by Stampers anonymous and just had to

add it with a little doodling around.

Of course the name of the foundation 

had tobe added on the page too.

Here you see the final page

Below you see the trademark of the foundation

that inspired this page.

Have a creative day!
