For a Lady

      Hi everyone. I have a Tuesday post because it's time again for a new challenge at Try It On Tuesday. Thank you everyone who joined our Boss It challenge. There were some great entries, and all kinds of super embossing.

    Our challenge for the next 2 weeks is For a Lady.


    I'm not certain that the ledger journal page ended up being the best choice for this page, but by the time I had enough done to decide that, I didn't want to start it over again. So it is what it is. 😏

     I started by heat embossing with black embossing powder the lady image in the center of the page. I used an old Inkadinkado stamp. I also used a bit of yellow watercolor paint around her. All the ladies are from this very old set of women rubber stamps. I have no idea who made them, and all the women are faceless, but they are wearing various time frame vintage outfits. I used markers to color them in. I then used another old clear stamp set from Paper Smooches to stamp on some white paper the butterflies and flower. I fussy cut them and used markers to color them also. I used another old cube rubber stamp from B Line Designs to stamp  the words.  I finished the page with a bit of velvet ribbon as well as some lace paper tape.

   And definitely check out the art from the rest of the design team too. 

   As always you have 2 weeks to share your Lady inspired art, and I'm looking forward to seeing all your creations.

Fabulous page! The ladies look beautiful in all their colourful dresses, it looks like they are promenading around the page like they used to in olden days 😊. I hope you're having a wonderful time today - Happy Birthday! Big hugs, Jo xx

As a part-time-lady the title would be for me too. I am not sure if I should add a post of mine. Thanks for visiting my blog and have a good time.
All the best

Actually, I thought the ledger background worked very well, especially with the faceless women. This is charming.

A great page Erika, love the elegant ladies in their beautiful dresses, how fashion has changed. The ledger background works so well with this page, altogether a lovely feminine page. Avril xx

I can just imagine your ladies promenading around Hyde Park in London in their finery. What a lovely page. I like the central image looking like a cameo brooch and then the ladies encircling in that way.
I would love to buy a ledger journal like yours but on tidying/culling I found I had several journal pages needing using and (shock horror) some never opened books!
Hugs, Neet xx
