Stepping out in Style

A digital collage combining two challenges :-

Art Creations Friday, who gave us a sepia image of a lady &
Collage Obsession, who gave us a black & white photograph of an interesting building.


In addition to the two images provided, I also used the following :-

An old magazine advertisement from The Vintage Moth
The face from an image from Crafty Computer Paper
The background image provided for Art Creations Friday
The photograph frame is my own

Sometimes

A digital scrapbook page created for 

the January 2010 Digi 101 Class

over on Two Peas in a Bucket.

I used an old family photograph &

the Give Freely kit by The Queen of Quirk.

I have tried to apply the various lessons learnt in the class,

although some options do not seem available

with the software I am currently using.

Journalling was hard as we don't know who the person is in the photograph,

but like me, they don't seem to like being in front of the camera!

I say ...

The challenge set by The Three Muses this week is to use a quotation in our project.

Inspired by this challenge, I made a digital collage based around an old sepia photograph of Sarah Bernhardt as a teenager taken by Felix Nadar.

"Your words are my food, your breath my wine
You are everything to me"
Sarah Bernhardt

The image used was offered as the first challenge on the Collage Obsession challenge blog.

In addition, I used the World Traveller digital kit by Sande Krieger from Two Peas in a Bucket. Sarah was born in Paris, so I thought the french elements of this digital kit were very appropriate. Please click on the image to enlarge to see all the details.

C is for Create

It's the third week of the inchie alphabet challenge at Inchy by Inch so we on the letter C.


The image of the girl is taken from an old photograph from Outsider Artists & the words are torn from an old English Dictionary.


The image was printed on white card & adhered to a mountboard base. The edges were sanded. The dictionary words were inked with Distress Ink (antique linen) & then added to the inchie.

Dare to be yourself

The challenge this week from Art Creations Friday was to use an image of a girl & the background provided in our project.

"Dare to be yourself"

This is a digital collage. In addition to the two images provided, I used a flower image from The Queen of Quirks Give Freely digital kit, available from Two Peas in a Bucket & a brad from Shabby Princess.

Something in the Air

This week's challenge set by The Three Muses is Something in the Air.

This is a digital collage using all the elements

for the Crowabout Challenge.

All the images from week 62 collage sheet

are included in some shape or form.

Additions to this collage include

the full version of the background image Nancy used,

Ice White

The new inchie challenge theme set by Nancy on the Small World of Inchies blog* is Snow & Ice.


The inch square was made using background images from The Graphics Fairy & an image of the girl from PaperWhimsy.


I added words cut from an insert that came with last weekend's newspaper. I inked the edges with a little black ink & added three adhesive pearls.

Thank You

A Thank you card.


I used paper & elements designed by Rhonna Farrer, altering the colour to pale yellow, black & gold organza ribbon & delicate touches of sparkle from my clear Sakura stardust pen & glitter gems.


The butterfly image is from Dover. I changed the colour to match the paper used, printed three copies, cut them out, very carefully, edged them with black ink & glazed them. They were layered using Pinflair Glue Gel.

B is for Button

We are on week two of the inchie alphabet challenge at Inchy by Inch so we must be on the letter B.


The image of the girl is taken from an old photograph from Craft Stamper & the words are torn from an old English Dictionary.


After the image was digitally altered, it was printed on white card & adhered to mountboard, with the edges sanded. The dictionary words were inked with Distress Ink (antique linen) & then added to the inchie.
