Good afternoon all and good to have chance to catch up with you today .
How has your day been ?
It has been another busy week here with magazine commissions to finish and I still don't have a car, so lots of walking for me...
Yesterday it was our regular workshops in Hazel grove and as always they were great fun. We had a play with the petite Gelli plates , and the ladies created some fabulous pieces of art.
Today I thought I would share a stencil piece with you
I do love the ballroom dancers, they are just so elegant... how I wish I could dance like that...
I started with a piece of backing paper from the New England Fall set of design papers...and used some plum Archival ink through the stencil. Once I had the dancers in place I used the edge of the ladies dress to give me a frame .
It works really well.
Some charcoal for shading and some gems for a necklace, such a quick card..
So that it is from me for today...I have dogs to walk and a meal to get ready...
Saturday is our Clarity Manchester workshop and we are going to create a canvas...and knowing me we will probably create havoc as well...lol...
And it is only a couple of weeks away from our first Clarity Glasgow retreat...oh I am so excited, but still lots to do...
Take care all
Much love and hugs

Oooo I do love this artwork, very elegant indeed. I used to go to Ballroom and Latin dance classes up to 19, I can still remember some moves to show you lol xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa, now that would be fun...we will have to do it sometime,,.lol...xx
DeleteI love this crackled wood paper in the paper stacks, its one I reach for most (need this one in a pack of it's own!) I love the border, such a clever idea to use the dress. Hope you can now walk across the fields rather than swim! XX
ReplyDeleteGreat card Jo - simple yet so elegant. Have fun on Saturday- we're doing a canvas at Clarity Dorset too 😊 xx
ReplyDeleteI love the paper! The stencil is so elegant and I too would love to dance like that! Dancing at ceildhs isn't so gracious looking.
ReplyDeleteI too am really excited at Clarity Glasgow retreat. It is going to be so much fun and I am sure there will be lots of giggling too!
