Sunday Postcard Challenge - Dress Form

Even we English speakers sometimes have difficulty with the language.  Australians call this a dressmaker's dummy and I am hoping that "dress form" means the same thing!!
The face, coloured and changed, is from E-vint.com.  The dress form is by Kubivet (no longer posting her freebies), the white eggs and newsprint frame are from Irene Alexeeva and the hope egg and background by Createwings Designs.  The bird is from Jeannette Bollinger.

Three Muses Challenge - Architecture

Here I have used a grungy background by Catherine Designs, two digital brushes by Katie Pertiet at Designer Digitals and the beautiful image is from E-vint.com.  Quote by Maya Angelou.
The vintage look was achieved by using two or three filters in a Photoshop Elements plug in which framed the picture in a rounded edge and added textures and shadows to the image.

Take a Word Challenge - Dream

The most pleasant dreams are those which make us feel as if we are weightless, floating or dancing with feet above the ground.

The ballet dancer is from a collage sheet by E-vint.com.  The background is by Lorie Davison with clouds by Irene Alexeeva.

Three Muses Challenge - Lock and Key

I always do what I'm told so in my picture I have included a keyboard, the key to her heart, love is the key, the key of C, a door lock (in flower hat) and curly locks of hair.

The girl is an Ozstuffe Original using  lock (hat), blue bow and papers for background and dress by Lorie Davison.  The keys and "love" pendant are from Createwings Designs.  Music and keyboard Googled.  Curly locks an action in one of my software programs.

Take a Word Challenge - Peacock

The peacock lady is an Ozstuffe Originale using face and arms painted by me, peacock feather hat and dress.  The background is made from a muted version of the feathers used in the dress.

Three Muses Challenge - Glamour Vintage

Penelope is an Ozstuffe Originale except for the paper hat and bow (Irene Alexeeva) and the background (Rosey Posey).  The only drawback to Penelope's glamorous designs was that she couldn't go out on a rainy day.  You've heard of Shabby Chic?  This is Ultra-Shabby Chic.

Take a Word - Gentlemen

I am willing to bet that "Easter Parade" is one of the most watched movies of all time.  I love the song "We're a couple of swells" and as soon as I saw the image of the "gentlemen" I knew what I was going to do.  The lyrics and music are by Irving Berlin.  The gentlemen were Googled as was the sheet music.  The background paper is by Catherine Designs.
For those who don't know the song check out the lyrics on Google.  The couple of swells in the movie were actually tramps (or hoboes) - Fred Astaire and Judy Garland taking the parts.

Three Muses Challenge - Hats and crowns and wings and things

Well, you asked for it, Ann.  I have followed your theme to the letter.  Hats yes, a crown yes, wings yes and things?  Lots and lots of them.

I lost count of all the elements.  They come from Irene Alexeeva, Kubivet, Creativewings Designs, Graphics Fairy, Holliewood, Finecrafted designs and Tumblefish.  The couple come from E-vint.com.  I have coloured and altered them from the original sepia.

Take a Word Challenge - Raven

A dark look at a blackbird!  The Poe postage stamp was Googled.  The body and chair from my family album.  The raven was also Googled while the background, black curtain and tombstone are by Irene Alexeeva.

The Three Muses Challenge - Words

Thanks to Bev for a great challenge.  I have used a quote and interesting fonts to create a "words" piece with some elements by Fiddlette.

Take a Word Challenge - NUMBERS

I made my own background and added a beautiful illustration from a 1920's magazine cover (sorry I don't have the name).

The Three Muses Challenge - Vintage Bathing Beauties

With stockings and shoes and a seaside of paper, this lady never intended getting wet.  The bathing beauty is from Tangie Baxter at SBG, background papers by Fiddlette, waves and "foam" from Ruth Davis at E-scape and Scrap. The sun is by Kubivet.

Take a Word Challenge - TIME

The lady is from a collage sheet by Maya at Scrapbookgraphics (coloured from original black and white).  The clock, word overlay and metallic frame are  by Lauren Bavin and the church steeple a digital brush by Katie Pertiet of Designer Digitals.

Sunday Postcard Art - Blossom

The face is from an image from E-vint.com.  Other bits and pieces by Rosey Posey at Scrapbookgraphics (clothes, stockings and shoes cut from a background paper).

The Three Muses Challenge - Steampunk (Anger Management).

Thanks to Ann for some steampunkerie.  The famous image is, of course, "The Thinker" by Auguste Rodin.  Other bits and pieces from Lauren Bavin and Marta van Eck.

Take a Word Challenge - Skinny

I painted the background in ArtRage and added some bling.  The image is a Flickr free-to-use picture, formerly black and white and coloured by me.

Sunday Postcard Art - Easter Zetti

Easter Greetings to one and all.   Some drawing by me, bits and pieces from Irene Alexeeva.

The Three Muses Challenge - Umbrellas

The girl is by me, the umbrella by Lilypad Designs.  Background and overlay by Rosey Posey.

Take a Word Challenge - EGGS

The young lady was extracted from a painting  from Wikimedia Commons and re-dressed.  The basket of eggs was Googled and the backgrounds are by Rosey Posey.  Paper for dress and flower on head by Lorie Davison.  Colour filtering and acid burn frames by Photo Essentials (installed in PSE10) 

The Three Muses Challenge - SPRING

I hope this has a spring feel to it.  After a long, hot summer in the Southern Hemisphere, I can't wait for the coolness of late autumn.  The dancer is from Graphics Fairy and other pieces of this and that are from Flergs, Rosey Posey and my own ephemera stash.
