"Collage Card Girl"

Photo Details

Poster: lorettagrace

I first created a background by layering various papers. I stamped the focal (girl) image and added some extra color with matching pencil. Continued decorating with postage stamps and a butterfly, adding a ribbon bow last.

The layered background creates such a rich foundation, and the added pencil coloring brings the focal image to life. The mix of postage stamps, butterfly, and ribbon bow adds wonderful texture and movement, making the collage feel both playful and elegant.

Wonderful assemblage of elements; the girl image is perfect for a "wishing" sentiment!

That's a great collage background - I think that some of what I thought was texture stamps must actually be the paper designs. The real postage stamps are a nice finishing addition.
