From the Bottom of the Heart

Hello!
Got this collage ready in the last minute, but I hope you like it! :)

Taking part to Collage Obsession's challenge Purple. My all-time favourite colour!

Thanks for visiting! x

My favourite: Beautiful Vasilisa

Collage Obsession challenged us to present our favourite fairy tale.
I have loved ever since a little girl fairy tales and their beautiful pictures, so it was a hard choice to pick just one of those.

I ended up with a tale from a book of Russian folk stories: Beautiful Vasilisa.

Creating a piece of art from this topic was a long process, but this evening I got it finished. Rather than making a card I chose to make a spread of this to my scrap book.

The story is about a brave, dutiful and - of course - beautiful young woman, who's mother dies. In her dying bed mother gives her a small doll, which eventually helps her with cruel stepmother, stepsisters and evil witch Baba Jaga. At the end she needs no more help from the doll to get married with a tsar! :)

In left page I used watercolour pencils and white acrylic colour. The background of right page is made with acrylic colours. To the middle I actually copied a page of text with ornamental frames from the book and coloured and stamped it. The figure of the girl I drew with ink and watercolours.

Thanks for reading :) Have a nice weekend!

Edit: 16th of March 12:30... Took a better picture in daylight and updated it here.

Inner strenght lifts you up...

...when it's time to take wing. I find red colour powerful and energetic - it encourages to take action.

Taking part to Collage Obsession's challenge "red". This subject gave me a push, thank you for that. :)

I started my red collage with my favourite fairy picture and the rest just came along... Completed the details with black ink and metallic gel colours.

Thank you for looking!

Is the a Perfect Man...

Collage Obsession challenged us to use the theme "Men".

Here's an ATC I got ready. The first quote says "If you need company, take a cat. Don't ever get married". Well, that might be better than finding out the Prince Charming is made of soap... (Saippuaprinssi= Soap Prince)

Witching Hour

Hi all! As Halloween approaches I find seasonal challenges inspire me daily. If I just had enough time to take part to them all... ;-)

Collage Obsession challenged us with theme "witches". These twins definitely got few tricks in their mind - I wonder if they could stop the time for me?

Oriental Tea

Taking part to Collage Obsession's newest challenge "oriental".
The hot drink in picture is tea - which I also drink a lot! :)

The card size is 6 x 4 inches. I used acrylic colours for the background paper. Most of the images are cut from magazines, except coloured stamped picture.

Clothing advises for a gentleman

Taking part to Collage Obsession's latest challenge Inspired by Television or Film.
My inspiration came from British TV serie Jeeves and Wooster.

The lines of F

Good evening!

The present challenge of Collage Obsession inspired me to make my interpretation of the letter F.

Creating fonts is something I have always found interesting.
This time, instead of making a detailed letter I visualized "big lines".

Thank you for this challenge!

Shades of White

With this card I take part to Collage Obsession's challenge "white".

Thank you for the challenge!
