It's in the Mail at TIOT

Hello Everyone who calls in at Jumbled Crafts and thank you for the lovely comments which I always appreciate.

I have some exciting news today as I was invited to join the Design Team at Try it on Tuesday and this is my first design piece for the challenge with the theme 'It's in the Mail'. I hope you will join in and visit all the others on the Design Team to see their wonderful makes. Thank you to Yvonne and the talented team for the very friendly welcome :)

I made a vintage style postcard. The background and the lady are from here but I did alter them by colouring with Promarkers and then making a skirt out of used postage stamps. I am sure there are lots of ways to use those.

This is the back of the postcard which I stamped with flowers and butterflies from Crafty Individuals.

Hope you have a really lovely day

Chrissie x

Tag and Journal page design

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
