STYLE IS ETERNAL for AJJ and headgear for MM&M

Hello
Hope you've had a good week and looking forward to the weekend.

This is todays page for AJJ 'Elegance and Grunge' theme  
A little grunge and some elegance too - this page has an Aquamarker background - the sort where I scribbled/doodled the markers on a piece of cellophane and spritz with water or breathed on it and then press that down onto the paper to transfer the ink. 
I then muted the colour down in places with some white gesso.
The mannequin, quotes and chandelier stamps by 'Kanban' ( I think). I stamped the mannequin on tissue paper and coloured with Inktense pencils. Other messy/grungy stamps that I used are by Crafter Companion and a set from The works.


 
I made a 'Moo' for MM&M where the theme is 'headgear'. I used some small stamps from an old set of 'Hats and Gloves' by Hero Arts. I always find it challenging (but fun)to work on such a small size - and it makes good use of some little stamps that sometimes get over looked. I used Prima water soluble crayons on b/g and the other colour is pencils and white Posca pen.
  
Thanks for stopping by
Have a great weekend..
Gill x

    Wow.. a romantic piece for AJJ and I adore this charming Moo! Have to pin it to our MM&M Gallery on Pinterest!
    Thank you for joining Moo Mania & More Gill!
    Hope your weekend is nice so far- here it's a bit grey and rain will come for sure... not as nice as we wished for tomorrow as we celebrate Mother's Day here in Austria and my family wants to make a BBQ for me on the porch. We will see....

    Happy weekend!

    Its a beautiful dress and so elegant, you added great quotes as well to your fabulous page.
    I loved the tiny images on the Moo. I think we all have such stamps lurking and waiting to get used.
    Have a good weekend.

    I keep forgetting to comment on your wonderful header that makes me smile every day

    What a great way to create a background and I have those stamps somewhere as well but not a clue who made them. A great page again

    Love Chrissie xx

    Hi Gill you are at it again, turning out amazing pieces of art. The first one with the grunge and then the elegance is just stunning I love how you have stamped and coloured on tissue paper. You will be pleased to hear I have some that I can colour on now.
    As for your tiny head wear I think I would struggle to find anything in my stash, love what you have done on such a small scale. xxxxx Ria
