So I kind of did both, but in doing both I also kind of did neither ... yeah ... one of those ....
I decided to use a vintage silhouette image from the Graphics Fairy .... I printed it out and then sat with it for a few days ... i decided to flip the page over and cover it with strips cut from a magazine ... I used a very victorian wall image as the main portion of her head, then a sea image and finally an image of an ancient brick wall ... Once i had glued the strips down, i let it dry (well almost dry) and then i cut out the silhouette image and adhered it to my background ... I then added a lovely Jane Austen quote.
But then ...
...
...
I blew the quote ... i wrote down that it was from Sense and Sensibility when .... *gasp* ...... it is actually from Pride and Prejudice ....
making a cameo appearance on my art journal page is the glaring quote error .... sheesh, i have lost all of my street cred here with that error!
Thanks for stopping by ....
Peace love and paper

Your page wrong quote or not is stunning
Wow wow wow!! I don't care that you got the quote wrong :) -- the page is amazing no matter what!!! That cameo is wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!
This project is A-MA-ZING! I'm an eternal librarian and an English major and I didn't even notice the mis-quote! When an artistic piece looks this incredible, you can attach whatever quote you want- right or wrong! I am stunned by your creative use of different textures and techniques- particularly the magazine strips. I have simply never seen anything quite like this and I love what you created here. Completely inspiring and endlessly clever! Thank you so much for sharing your talents with us here at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge blog!
What a wonderful project...this page is absolutely amazing and I just adore it. It's so soft and feminine but so striking and I'm sure no-one would have noticed the quote if you hadn't mentioned it!! ;) Thank you so much for sharing this project and for joining us over at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog... :)
Absolutly stunning!
But you didn't attribute the quote to a specific book on the piece so no harm, no foul, right? Especially since it's a gorgeous cover.

That is so gorgeous. I'd be practicing ways to turn those "s"s into swirly "p"s, if it bothers you. I wouldn't have known if you didn't fess up.
This is beautiful! The colors are heavenly. Thank you for joining us for The Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge. ~Michelle

Ohhhhh My Jo! This is absolutely GORGEOUS! I LOVE it!
Wow, that is a gorgeous page! Never mind the "error", if you hadn't told me I wouldn't have noticed ;-)
This is sublime and as for the error, all is forgiven when you create art such as this!
