Retro sketches Challenge 35

I love the sketches at Retro Sketches they are all little works of art themselves.

I am trying to make a few Christmad Cards to avoid the last minute rush that I usually have so this sketch seemed a nice one to use for that.

I made both the backing papers in Paint Shop Pro and cut out the  nestabilities circles with my Cuttlebug. Then I added various things to make it look more interesting. The label has gold thread as ties but they don't show up too well


This is the wonderful sketch that I followed.

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.
