* Path of Positivity: Greek Window

  

Hello!

Today is the start of a new Path of Positivity challenge.

The challenge lasts for the month of October.

This month the theme is Anything Goes with the optional twist of 

Fall into a Book.

Prizes this month include:

• FOUR images from Ike's Art, our guest sponsor for this month, for a person chosen in a random draw based on all qualifying entrants. 
• ONE image (value of $5 or less) from Scribbles Designs, for the post or project that the team deems most inspiring of the bunch based on all qualifying entrants.
• One digital image from Creative Bug Digital SnapShots for each person chosen as a DT Delight.

Our optional theme this month is 

Fall into a Book.

We want you to make a project inspired by a book or a story. Getting lost in a good book is a great way to relax and find some positivity. The written word can transport you to many places, whether fictional or non-fictional. Sit back, open a book and let it lead you down the Path of Positivity.

I used Greek Window from Ike's Art to make my card. The book I was inspired by is Gerald Durrell's My Family and Other Animals'. I first read this at school in English Literature and I was hooked - not only was I reading a good story, but I was learning about sunny Corfu and its wildlife as well as the escapades of the dysfunctional Durrell household. In no time at all I had devoured the following two that make up the Corfu Trilogy books, "Birds, Beasts and Relatives' and 'The Garden of the Gods'. Now I am, of course, a huge fan of the TV series, The Durrells.

My window scene is coloured with Copic markers and die cut. I matted it onto dark teal card as i couldn't find any card the kind of turquoise that you see painted on Greek doors and windows. I embossed some card with a Tim Holtz 3D embossing folder and coloured it to resemble stone. I added a stamped sentiment.
