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.

    Craftily done, Marie! You are so good at "manufacturing" costumes and people. It just never ceases to amaze me. Kudos.

    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.

    Dear Ozstuff, you don't seem to be able to stop yourself. Until now I haven't seen anything of your "stuff" that I don't like. Thank you for commenting on our Goofy- I still feel as if I have a hole inside. Miss him a lot. Glad that you like the photo too - these crazy, happy,good looking australians hey...! Do I have to tell you that I love your continent?
