Hi,
'Dancing in the Dark' was created by painting on Photocard with Acrylics, which was an interesting experiment and I like the effect its given.
Stamped the Ballerina twice, used Distress Inks on one, the other was stamped in Archival Black and painted with Glossy Accents which is attached to the background with foam pads.
The Ballerina Stamp made by Lost Coast Designs is available at
Happy Daze along with many of the other products used to make up this piece.
I love this stamp so had to make another one which am calling
'Freedom of the Dance'..........
This time I used a Watercolour Postcard and painted an outdoor scene in Watercolours, a much softer effect than the dramatic 'Dancing in the Dark'. Then I got to thinking, as you do, this stamp would be perfect on Christmas Cards, Tags and of course Altered art..........but had better stop as my brain is working overtime..............lol Oh if only there were more hours in a day.............
Both these pieces are part of my
GD spot this month for
Happy Daze. Hope you like them...!
Hope you are having a great week and take care, Hugs Annette x

Beautiful cards Netty - love the BG's!
Gorgeous and graceful!!!
Oh my stars! This is beautiful! I love your work - and just got that you are a ginger snap! Very cool my friend. Thank you for your sweet comment and have a great week, xo
I LOVE both of these cards!!! I especially like the 3d effect with the foam. I could see a snow covered forest with the ballerina representing the Nutcracker ballet for Christmas....oh there goes my brain...! :-)
These are gorgeous, Annette!
OOO Netty, these are both beautiful. I love the colours on both but the first one is my fave
Frankie

wow you are certainly coming up with some real unusual and inspirational piece Annette
hugs
i think these are both gorgeous Netty. the contrast between your back grounds and the "shadow" dancers really works.
Netty, what a wonderful ballerina stamp! I love how you have doubled it in the first one. I know it must be so awesome in person with acrylics on photopaper (didn't know that could be done!) because it is so alive with movement on the screen. Of course, my favorite is the one with the watercolor background. Beautiful.
Wow, these are stunning! I especially looooove that first piece, it's so very reminiscent of a VanGogh painting. Gorgeous starry effect!
Oooh - I love the effects on these! Beautiful!!!
I also love how you turned your artwork into a box on your PPF post... so, so cool :)
xo
Kristin
