Valentine and her cat go to the ball.

Inspired by Wyanne and the artists from last weeks Butterfly Effect, I got out the paper and scissors this morning to do a bit of collage and I must say I'm really enjoying it!


Realistically I could not have finished this whole image with paint in time to join the masquerade ball happening over on Inspiration Avenue, so I got creative with some William Morris paper, free printables {see bellow for links} and a little photo editing {for her eyes} to bring Valentine and her cat to the party.


Above are a few of the many beautiful William Morris papers form my collection.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all my visitors for the support and encouragement, it is absolutely wonderful to read your comments. I must say that joining Paint Party Friday, Inspiration Avenue, Artists in Blogland and The Butterfly Effect has been fantastic and I'm so happy I did. You all have been so welcoming and inspiring.

    Very Clever,inspirational, and inviting. They make you want to grab a mask (if not invited) and crash the party!

    I am also in awe that Tracey (above me) irons! :)

    The original is wonderful and the revamped is like a surprise party with tea and teddy bears and the guest of honor is her sweet cat. Even more wonderful!
