Take a Word Challenge #36 - Stars and Stripes


Happy Fourth of July to all our American friends!!The face and hands of the image are from a Flickr-free-to-use photo from the late Suzee Que.  Her costume was made by me cutting shapes from background papers.  "Pleated" flag in lower right hand corner was Googled.  Background paper, frame and elements are by Ztampf and Rosey Posey both from Scrapbookgraphics.

  2. This is outstanding, Marie. You make these composite characters look so easy, but I know how much work is involved in a piece like this. Take a bow!

    Thanks for the comments re: my 'fanta-sea' too, I haven't joined in TAW or 3Ms this week due to eye problems, methinks a visit to the opticians is called for!

  11. A big standing O from my corner, Marie. At first sight I only saw your patriotic girl (beautifully painted in ArtRage), but then you led my eye right into the picture and I saw the wonderful layering you have achieved also. I think this may be one of your very best.
