Fantasy

Old new and Digital too asks us to incorporate a found object in their challenge this month. I like to find things and will pick them up most anywhere. A while ago I was in a second hand store, and found a small number sticker in a fitting room. A size sticker perhaps, or else a control number. Never mind, I slipped it into my purse and used it for this challenge.
I'll also enter this into ATC around the world challenge with the Fantasy theme.

How old are you, birdie? "6"
Background is extremely layered: the paper is a vintage herbarium label. ("OLD") I spray-stencilled a couple of baby wipes the other day, and the plastic stencil still had the red color mist on it. Instead of wiping the stencil I turned it upside down and used it practically as a stamp. Once the paper was dry I stamped the background with some yellow swirls. Then I added my ("NEW") washi-tape, semi-transparent with black numbers. You don't see it much, it has been now mainly covered. The flowers were stamped on tissue and pasted along with other elements, the 1930's adorable girl ("DIGITAL"), bird, found words from a English grammar and the FOUND piece, the number sticker.

Let's Dance

Collage Obsession changes weekly, which I like. This week's theme is Let's Dance.
They always give a picture to work from, but you are free to use anything else. I worked from my own stash this time.

Let's Dance
Is the gentleman turning human, or is the lady turning a mermaid? Hard to tell. But you should always dance to the tune of your own music and not care what others think.

I am also participating to another challenge with this, a new one - yay. Old, New and Digital too. This first month, the theme is free. The work has to have something old (I did the background a few years ago), something new (the sentiment from a newly purchased sticker sheet) and something digital (the couple, downloaded and printed).
Thanks for looking!
