"Circus of Desisre"Postcard
Sometimes you just can't resist a good challenge! With my husband out of town for a few days, I've had extra time to play in the studio and can participate in a few challenges this week.
This is my very first entry in the Sunday Postcard Art challenge - the theme is "Pierrot". And, since I used some of the images from this week's Crowabout challenge, I've met that challenge's requirements too!
The Pierrot couple, as well as the horse riding people in the background, are from a FLICKR photo-sharing group. Approximately nine of the Crowabout images were used - including all of the little "labels". They were sized and "texted" (Is that a word?!?) in a photo-editing program, and then hand-colored with watercolors and Prismacolor pencils. Other graphics include images from previous Crowabout challenges and scanned circus scrapbook stickers manipulated (for size only) in a photo-editing program.
As a final touch, blue paint dots were added to the background, and the entire piece was "edged" with a silver marker.
