Sunday Postcard - Mirror Mirror


Once again I forgot and created my piece in a 6x6 format, then had to figure out how to fit it into a 4 x 6 postcard!! I "borrowed" the cover of a vintage Ladies Home Journal, put my art piece in the middle, and added the phrase at the bottom. The background and mirror are from Kubivet, the trunk from Jenn U Designs, and the lady and wardrobe from Flickr Collage Images Victorian paper dolls (SuzieQ). Best seen enlarged. The script reads "Taking joy in living is woman's best cosmetic", a quote from Rosalind Russell. Thanks for looking!

    Wow! So elegant, so beautiful, Bev. (I think we may have used the same mirror!).
    This isn't an easy challenge but you have nailed it. I love your nostalgic collage.
