Da Vinci....Diary week 24.


Friday is Diary day.... week 24.
I have been looking through my stamp collection recently and came across a number that had been pushed to the  side of the shelf and certainly haven't  seen any ink in a very long time.
In fact the ones I used today,  I couldn't name the maker or even guess a name.
The cut outs were  computer generated  and I used just the one stencil today and some Vintage photo distress ink, the more layers of colour you add the darker the shade becomes.
I will join the folk over at
  and Gill's theme.....Inspired by.....
finding these Leonardo da Vinci stamps was my inspiration for today.

Thank you for calling in today,
I hope you all have a good weekend.

  4. My art friend Kathy and I did an entire altered book one year based on da Vinci. It's amazing how I had forgotten some of those old images, most of which Kathy used. My favorite is the only one I own: Vitruvian Man. As always, i love calendar day, because you come up with some of the most clever ideas for the week ahead. This one is not just incredible, but also is such a joy because you also shared it with us at Art Journal Journey.

  9. Always a pleasure when diary day comes around and a treat to see the Da Vinci stamped images, I've come across those stamps before but cannot remember who did them either! I remember I saved those very ones on my old computer and then printed oss on tracing paper to get a velum effect when I first started crafting lol.
