Love, Live

Another great carved image by Gloria Page, this time done in chocolate ink on colored handmade paper . . .

Because there is so much action going on in the upper left corner, I felt there needed to be some balance in the lower right.  My favorite trick in these situations is to add a small die cut in the same cardstock as the background.  This adds a little weight and some subtle textural interest, but doesn’t detract from the focal point.
