Thanks to Itkupilli and Elegia for the great challenge and beautiful image. I made a digital stamp/brush with the image and placed it over a background paper by Joanne Brisebois. The background and butterfly are by Lorie Davison at Scrapbookgraphics and the bridal couple partly obscured are from Tangie Baxter also at SBG.
PS - This collage is NOT autobiographical!! The only longing I do is wish I had listened to my dear old Dad who told me NOT to do it (get married that is).
Absolutely stunning, Marie!
ReplyDeleteGreat collage!! I love it... all the elements blend together to create an exceptional effect!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors that you used and the weathered look of the lady who is "longing". It's beautiful work, and the challenge is only a few hours old... Bravo!
