New Challenge At More Mixed Media - Paint Party Friday

Hi Everybody!

Today we are starting a new challenge at More Mixed Media Challenge Blog. As always, our challenges are anything mixed-media goes, this time with optional purple. I made an A3 Journal page. The background was painted with white with a little lavender and yellow added in, and then textured with a swirl stamp. I used scraps of paper napkins for the flowers and butterflies. The girl with the hat is an image I found in one of my old ladies' newspapers from 1900. I sewed around the edges to finish it off:

I am also linking to Paint Party Friday and to AJJ, where Halle has chosen the topic of 'A stitch in time'.

I also have another tag for Michele's Dance challenge at Tag Tuesday

When my daughter was small she wanted to go to ballet classes 'Because everyone in class has ballet lessons, pleeeeeeeeeeeease!' Okay, we went for a trial lesson. At the end of it she marched out, red-faced and bad tempered, and said she would never go there again. I asked her why, and she told me that the lady who was teaching was 'much too bossy', and everybody had to wear BLUE dresses, and she wanted pink! She decided to go horse-riding instead, even though the horse was not pink! So here a pink dress:

And some walking photos:
