Dina and Dyan

Hi folks, here is my second piece for Country View Crafts playing with Circles.


I have been fascinated for a while by this lovely set of Dina Wakley stamps in which she included photos of herself, and Dyan Reaveley as children.
I began by choosing a random mop-up paper and stamping with Tim Holtz stamp DOILY CMS254 in Black Archival. I arranged them onto my black card.


Next, I cut out some flowers from some lovely wrapping paper that I had received for my birthday. 


I stamped some circles from my very overused Emma Godfrey stamps....EEG15 onto red, inky mop-up paper, and added words which I had typed. 
I then spent ages arranging and re-arranging these and buttons and cogs and flowers and, of course, images of Dina and Dyan...(Gals and Borders-MDR50384)

I kept taking photos and then checking before I decided upon the final arrangement.
I chose to write these words because, I am sure that these two ladies "Dared To Dream".
I hope that this has inspired you to join in with our challenge at Country View Crafts, and thanks for looking. 


Products Used:- DOILY CMS254, Circles EEG15, Gals and Borders-MDR50384.

    Hazel,
    Apologies for not visiting you, it is just the way of it at the moment which is disappointing for me :(
    There is a gorgeous flow to this piece of artwork and a beautiful sense of innocence and days that have gone before but also with a contemporary feel to it - I know, I am probably not making any sense at all!
    Love the colours and flowers.
    Wishes
    Lynne

    Fantastic composition - as Lynne says, the eye travels with such ease around the piece, flowing from layer to layer and image to image. Fabulous!

    I'm sure I came and commented on the fabulous composition here - love how the boldly coloured circles draw the eye around and the buttons are the perfect embellishment.
