Create 28 – No. 22 & 23 – Typographic Quote Illustrations

Hello there Buttoneers! I am firmly into the twenties (not just in age thank you very much!) in my Create 28 blog challenge! Hooray! I feel like I still have a lot to go before the finish line (Have you seen my nifty little countdown on my sidebar!?) Five more to be precise, but I am gripping hold of the light at the end of the tunnel in my mind and ploughing through.  Have you joined me on the ride so far? If not, grab a cup of tea and explore the past adventures here.

This week, we have a double whammy of crafty goodness and they are two lots of my favourites so far (I know…I know…I have said that before!) 

I truly loved playing designer for a while whilst illustrating these lovelies and transporting them into digital prints.  I am super in love with them (so much so that copies are already framed for the walls of my home!) I have always been a lover of quotes.

Quotes from all sorts of walks of life and adventures can inspire and hold your hand on your not so sparkly days, your need a boost days, your need motivation to move your butt days…You know the ones, the Pinterest pin-your-day-away-days!

So, designing and illustrating my own ‘made up out of my crafty imagination’ quotes seemed like an obvious crafty adventure for me to pack my pencil crayons for. 

I am so thrilled with them and I hope you love them too! Without further ado, Here is No. 22 & 23 in my Create 28 blog challenge…

           “Spread a Little Sunshine on your Toast this Morning”      

This is an original quote, created in my own imagination when I needed to brighten up a cloudy grey day. Along the lines of creating your own happiness each day and bringing your own sunshine to your day, I wanted to add a fresh and bright fun pop of colour to your wall. This quote print would look amazing in your kitchen or dining area to catch your eye and remind you to keep smiling and to add a bright sunshiney splash of warm colour to your day. 

The mixture of my own hand lettering and a contrasting digital font makes a gorgeous combination and has an almost vintage sign inspired feel. I can imagine this print hung in a 1950’s American diner!
