Q is For Queen

Hello.  Welcome.  It's been a while since I played at PaperArtsy where the current challenge is hearts.  So I was lurking around and spotted a lovely post by Debs where she stamped a heart background.  I decided to combine with the Craft Barn's Dictionary challenge and alter one of my giant playing cards.  

I stuck a piece of lined paper onto my playing card and stamped the collage heart from Paperartsy HP1105.  I added a piece of ripped book paper.  Norwegian.  Could be an exciting story!   

I stamped the queenly looking lady from Paperartsy LPC007, coloured some grunge paste black and applied it through Tando's distorted harlequin mask. 


 I hadn't realised how big the definition of queen is in the dictionary!  So I added the definition at a bit of an angle and then offset my fussy cut queen down and to the right of the stamped image.  Actually I quite like that!  It a bit like a very detailed shadow.  A pictorial echo?

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

    Great queen! The shadow doesn't look out of place and the background hearts look good too.

    This is gorgeous. The stamp you used was beautiful, especially because I'm not a stamper. I really enjoyed the ghost image you created, too. This is a fun and lovely entry.
