Hi everyone. Hope everyone is having a nice weekend.
I'm back with another journal page for Alison's Play It Again Sam challenge at Art Journal Journey.
Today my page is actually about movies rather than songs. I really enjoy a lot of the superhero movies put out by Marvel and DC comics. They are good entertainment, some relaxing escapism, and I like how they follow the characters over time. I first started watching them to have something to talk to the kids at school about, and then I found myself really liking them (some better than others).
I have this older stamp set by Brett Weldele from Stamper's Anonymous, and I thought Alison's challenge would be a good time to use it.
My movie for this page would be the first Wonder Woman movie that also goes by that name. It came out in 2017 and stars Gal Gadot. I really like how this film has a strong girl power theme.
The second Wonder Woman movie didn't have quite as good a story line as the first film. Another good girl power superhero would be the film Captain Marvel. That film came out in 2019 and stars Brie Larson. There are a few other women superheros, but for the sake of brevity I will leave it with these 2.
I started my page by watercolor painting the background. Then I stamped several of these gauges. I added a strip of quote paper on the left side of the page. After that I stamped, colored and fussy cut my superheros. Finally I stamped the quote and used a blue watercolor pencil to create the air movement that would be created behind a flying person at take off.
That's my latest page as we start this last week of April. Where in the world did this month go to?
Have a great end of your weekend and start to the new week.

Fun page.
Never fear new heights...I love that.
You too have a wonderful weekend, Erika.
A fantastic page for my theme Erika! I'm a huge Marvel fan, as is my son.
Hope you're having a good Sunday.

...I don't fear new heights in a figural sense, but I fear in a physical sense.
Yeah, flying would be a wonderful thing.
The superhero movies are great escapist fun, aren't they! :)
Very fun page Erika, Loving it
I like how you captured the super heroines. Another movie to watch with a different kind of super hero: On The Basis of Sex about Ruth Bader Ginsberg. I hope you got your outs in over the weekend. Sounds like we're in for more Spring showers this week. Stay dry!
Never fear new heights is a good thing to remember throughout our lives!
Happy Monday!
You captured the superhero look perfectly, Erika1
I love your page.

Very cool and great way to use those stamps! oxo
Somehow I never got into the Marvel comics, but I love how you made girl power important. Great theme for Alison's choice at Art Journal Journey, too.
Fantastic page.
Not a film type that I watch but your page does look fantastic and good to see how you interpreted the film for A The AJJ theme.
Hope your week is going well.

I don't think I know the Marvel films but I do remember Wonder Woman and Superman is a favourite of mine.
Love your page and the two figures are perfect. The gauges are ideal for the background and the title "Never reach new heights" is brill.
Hugs Neet xx
