Inspiration Avenue Challenge - So Romantic...

Finally, I've got my act together to enter the Inspiration Avenue Weekly Challenge after several months of dropping by on a Monday to see what the new theme is...

I now feel able to post the IA button on my sidebar, so do press it to see what goodies the Avenue has to offer :)

So, to this week's challenge - so romantic...

Nothing makes me feel so romantic as travel and adventure...

I would have loved to be alive - and wealthy! - in the 1920s and 30s - the clothes, the hairstyles, the artwork, the architecture... I would have loved to ride the Orient Express to Vienna, or taken a Cunard cruise to New York *sigh*

This little ATC (Artists Trading Card) is one I found tucked into an old journal, dated May 2006.
I actually have very few of my ATCs, as most were made for swaps and giveaways, but I guess I wanted to keep this one :) You can see more detail if your click on the image...

I just love the little tag stamped with the Tamara de Lempicka image of this painting - an all-time favourite which I remember seeing in the States (can't remember where...) and being amazing at how tiny it was - only about 12 inches square... It still packed a punch though!
A note in my art journal says I got the tag from Fran Burras' etsy shop...
and the quote says 'You do not realize how far you have come till you look behind'...

Oh, so true...
