Timeless Vintage

I seem to have a mental block at first with this challenge by Neet and then I went here and found this free digital stamp so felt a bit inspired. I used my new Big and Juicy ink pads and new brayer and had a go at the background then printed the digi stamp onto it. Finished off the stamping with  a rubber stamp that my daughter gave to me--I love the leaves that made corners.

So I got there in the end by adding a touch of colour to the dancers and the leaves.

Great samples from the team at Just at Fun and from the Guest Designer Sandra

    I know you are new to the brayer Chrissie and you'll find you get a better result on glossy / coated card stock :)
    I wonder if there is a stamp of that great image
    Glad you found some inspiration to share with us at Just For Fun

    Sorry if Vintage floored you Chrissie, it's a favourite of mine (but then I had it wrong if you read my blog but so do countless others)and I think a bit of lace, a flower, a button - anything like that all adds to the image.
    Anyway, to your tag - glad you found something you could use - have never used a digi-image so not sure what you do with them - maybe that should be a challenge for me. Thanks for joining us at JFF - Hugs, Neet

Hi All. Thank you for visiting today and I hope you like what you see here. A fine bright day but colder today so I may fit in a walk later though I had some curtains to make before I do anything else. At Tag Tuesday this week the theme is Diva. I don't always remember to show my tags for there as you need to be a member and and do your own posts on Tag Tuesday's blog. I chose Elizabeth Taylor as my Diva she was so beautiful in films but definitely a Diva in her private life. Art Journal Journey are still drawing me in with the artists inspired theme so here is yet another page for the challenge there.  This was inspired by Damien Hirst though years ago I didn't feel inspired by his work at all when I saw some of it for real at the Liverpool Tate Gallery. We had gone there to see the wonderful Rodin sculpture 'The Kiss' which graced the entrance to the Gallery. Then we strayed into the next part and a whole wall was covered in dots. It didn't look like art to
