Thanks, Marie, for a challenging challenge! Thank heaven for the "stuff" I had backed up before my computer had to be reformatted. I used a lot of it for this one. Background is from an old Somerset Studio magazine, flowers and butterfly CR Designs, bird from Karen's Whimsy, book from Maya at Scrapbookgraphics, and the data on the pages was collected from Google. Digital collage is one of my favorite things to do .... obviously! Thanks for visiting and commenting.
Bev, you have blown me away with your collage. It is EXQUISITE and every little detail is to be enjoyed and savoured. I am simply amazed that you have achieved such a natural, handcrafted look in digital (not that I have anything against digital!!). You must be very proud of this. Huge standing ovation from me.
ReplyDeleteThis is digital?? I would never have been able to tell on the computer screen. It's beautiful... I love everything about it!
ReplyDeleteBev, you've used these lovely images beautifully! Marie's right . . . this is an exquisite collage. I'm happy that you had a bunch of stuff backed up. Believe me, I feel for you! Hugs, Terri xoxo

ReplyDeleteYou know, considering all the problems you've had lately Bev, you have done a magnificent job. This is a real work of classy art - bravo! I hope you recover soon...
ReplyDeleteThis piece is really lovely! The book, the nature images, the colors, and your composition brings it all together beautifully.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you could save a part of your "stuff" that you had collected over the years Bev. On my computer stand thousands of images saved after hours and hours of searching for a right one and I can imagine how it must felt for you to lose them all.
