Turquoise Indigo

Here's my turquoise indigo spread for the Rainbow Escape challenge.  The technique was to use fancy hand lettering with a brush or calligraphy pen.  Believe it or not, in my entire pen collection I don't have a single calligraphy nib.  So I used a brush pen with my own cursive, which I rarely use on journal pages.  The saying, "Whatever life hands you...make the best of it!," was inspired by those neon hands surrounding it.

An interesting note here ~ that Christmas stamp, in the center of the lower left cluster, is from 1963...that was 50 years ago, shortly after JFK was assassinated, and just a month and a half before the Beatles appeared on the Ed Sullivan show.
