Piece of my Heart

The psychedelic colors in the Lindy's Stamp Gang Drop Dead Diva set by Limor Webber was a definite must have for me! These colors inspired me to create something in memory of the great Janis Joplin….

My canvas creation has been entered in the Lindy’s Stamp Gang October 2015 Color Challenge!  The Drop Dead Diva Mega Set contains every Starburst spray and embossing powder color in this month's challenge.  I used each and every color in both the sprays and the EPs.

In order, as shown in the LSG graphic, are the beautiful colors used in my creation.
I've provided links to the individual Starburst sprays.

      Bling-y Blond
      Prima Donna Purple
      Sassy Sapphire

The photo I chose of Janis reminded me of her softly singing “Didn’t I make you feel like you were the only man” – a small part of the lyrics to her song Piece of my Heart.   I could picture her hair flowing onto the canvas in psychedelic colors, so that is exactly what I created using modeling paste applied and formed with a palette knife. All of the Starburst sprays were applied with a paint brush and then the entire area was heat embossed with LSG EP Magic Moon Pearls.  This resulted in a beautifully smooth finish!
Punched retro flowers , flower centers and metal peace signs were all colored using the Drop Dead Diva sprays and embossing powders.
 
I made cool mum flowers out of some of the flower centers; and heat embossed a heart stamp in the Hi Maintenance Magenta color.
 
 
Archival Jet Black ink was used to apply the stamps. 
Colored rhinestones in coordinating colors added some bling. 
 
I had so much fun creating this canvas! 
Thanks for stopping in for a quick view. Have a wonderful day!  Lisa : )

  1. Beautiful page, Lisa - I really, really love it! And, if Janis Joplin were around today - her hair would probably have all of those colors! Dare I say this, but when I was young - I had an 8 track tape of her music - no idea where it's at now, then 1 day - not so long ago, I ordered a CD. When I was visiting my grandson at college a short time ago, he confiscated my CD and borrowed it - so, then I just ordered another!! Again, your page is wonderful! Bought back some fun memories!
