The title of this week's challenge at "Less is More" takes me back to Sunday afternoons when I was a kid watching movies with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers... I loved them. Such elegance!
Anyway, enough of that, the challenge is to have a card with some reference to music or dancing!
I love this little bird from A Day for Daisies, with his bit of music on his wing and tummy. I coloured him with Mirage pens and cut his mount from a Dienamic pierced circle die. The sentiment is computer generated in Sunshine Poppy font.
This is a Technique Tuesday image stamped in Antique Linen Distress Ink and watercoloured also with Distress Inks. I overstamped it with SU Gorgeous Grunge dots. The manuscript in the background panel is from Artemio and the sentiment from Simon Says Stamp.
Here isa gorgeous Quentin Blake image from Docrafts. Wily Wonka really looks as though he's dancing to me.
The sentiment is computer generated.
I am in Guernsey for a week's holiday. We have never been here before and have been looking forward to it enormously. I'll let you know all about it when I get back!
Superb crisp classy and ultra CAS cards Chrissie. I do love the Willy Wonker one particularly it's so realistic. Have fun holiday. Sarah xx
