Gothic Arches - Mother and Child

Nice challenge! I have selected two vintage images and given them bodies by using my digital freehand cutting tool to draw the shapes on background papers and then i have cut and pasted onto the template. I added a few hand drawn touches. I guess it is a different way of making a collage. The woman's image is from Art-e-Zine and the girl's from Outsider-Artist (freeby). The glitter is by Vera Lim, the brooch and hair clasp by Bluebell Designs.

  2. You have a wonderful style all of your own Marie. Lovely background with the sparkles outside the arch and brilliant job on the cutting and painting. Scrumptious.
