I was definitely in Michael Jackson mode over the weekend. First I created my King of Pop Canvas, and then I decided to create this altered art style bookmark, which I call That Simple Dance. This was inspired by the 3 Muses Quotation Challenge, in which we were to use a quotation in our art piece. I decided to use a line from one of Michael's songs as my quotation, and it's one of my favorite of his songs, Blood on the Dancefloor.
The base of this bookmark is a textured piece of pink cardstock, and on that I've scalloped the bottom edge. I found a photo of MJ in one of his classic poses, up on his toes, and he's wearing his glittery socks too. One thing's for sure here--Michael knew what he was doing with those socks. One immediately knows whose feet those are when you look at this photo. I cut the photo to size and adhered it to the bookmark, then added a music sticker to the bottom edge of the photo.
Next I took some black scrapbook paper and used that as a base for my quotation, which is printed on white cardstock. "To Escape the World I've Got to Enjoy That Simple Dance," seemed like a very appropriate quote for MJ. I glued those to the bookmark, then I added some silver-looking brads to the top corners of the framed quotation. And I finished off the bookmark with some matching pink and black satin ribbon.
