Take a Word #18 - Exotic

The exotic lady is from a collage sheet by E-Vint.com coloured from black and white, bird and overlay edge by Lauren Bavin and background paper by Joanne Brisbois.  Quote by Confucius.

Sunday Postcard Art - Double Take

All my own work except for the face (from E-Vint.com) and the shoes from Lisa Whitney.

Take a Word #17 - Door

She has her hat and her shoes and even her cat, what did she forget?  The image is a black and white one from e-vint.com.  I have coloured and altered it more than a little.  Edge overlay by Lauren Bavin, door (altered) and flowers from Lorie Davison at SBG.

Sunday Postcard Art - Faces

Myrtle is an Ozstuffe Originale.  Background pieces from Lorie Davison at Scrapbookgraphics.

The Three Muses Challenge - Hot, Hot, Hot!

All my own work except for the face which is from the late Suzee Que at Flickr.  The words come from the title of a Cole Porter song from "Kiss Me Kate".  If you have seen the musical on film you will remember the amazing dance routine by Ann Miller to this song - and the very clever lyrics.  Showing my age!!

Take a Word #16 - Romance

The image has been coloured from black and white and is from e-vint.com collage sheets.  Other elements by Dawn van der Stoep at Createwing Designs.

Happy St Valentine's Day to all our blogger friends!

Sorry!  It's not really ME  to post a sentimental piece for Valentine's Day so I decided to include this one which suits me to a tee.

Sunday Postcard Art - Hearts

Sorry, I am one of those people who can't take St Valentine's day seriously.  I apologize for making a joke about it!  If love is blind the lingerie boutiques wouldn't be doing any business!!  Original image from E-Vint.com collage sheets, greatly altered.  She was chosen for her very attractive "bloomers" - great lingerie you must admit.  Bird and background by Dawn van der Stoep at Createwing Designs.

Three Muses Challenge - Use a quote!

I guess this is another way of saying "square peg in a round hole".  I found the quote somewhere (not sure where) and it spoke to me.  I decided to illustrate it with a bit of silliness.  I have had the screaming woman in my stash for a very long time.  I think it was a freebie from Stockxchange.  Other elements are by Fiddlette aka Christine Honsinger.

Collage Obsessions - Transform

What a great idea for a challenge!  Thanks, Glenys.  I have taken a vintage photo and transformed it into a more modern style.  The image is from E-Vint, background by Irene Alexeeva.  I have done some overpainting and added new clothes.  (Original image below)

Take a Word #15 - Blackbird

The words are, of course, from the great Beatles song, "Blackbird".    A collection of elements and background papers from Lauren Bavin at Digital Scrapbook Place.

SPA Challenge - Steampunk

The image (from e-Vint) was originally black and white.  I have overpainted the head and shoulders and given her a new hairstyle (and hat). Her skirt is made from a hot hair balloon and her breastplates from steam gauges.  Other elements by Maya at Scrapbook Graphics and Lauren Bavin at Digital Scrapbook Place.

Three Muses Challenge - Black and White

This was originally a sepia image (E-Vint collages) which I converted to black and white, adding filters.  The background is by Kay Eflin and the overlays are by Lauren Bavin of Digital Scrapbook Pages.  The flowers are by Birgit Kerr at Scrapbookgraphics.
