The letter Q and the colour Gold

This is the current challenge at Dragons Dream Tag It On.  Not surprisingly, Queens and Gold Crowns came to mind but, being just a little bit stubborn, I didn’t want to do the most obvious.

I perused the dictionary, and viewed the Google images but nothing really gelled.  I got the word Question stuck in my head and simply couldn’t shake it so this is what I came up with.

I started by spraying my tag, then painting with gesso.  I added some torn washi tape (which is not all that easy to tear vertically, by the way).  The words are stamped (first ever use for that alpha stamp set) and I used a gold marker to highlight the letters.

I added a rose, again highlighted with the gold marker, Gold topped pin and gold beads.

Can you finish the Quote (another Q word, you will note)?  I couldn't help but add references to arrows and outrageous fortunes, lol

See you again soon – thank you for stopping by.

  1. Like your thought process. I wonder where you got that 'not doing the obvious' streak from?
