collage obsession background challenge

This week's Collage Obsession challenge was to take one or more of three different backgrounds and use it for our collage art.


I chose this image of a misty river. I love the dreamy quality and it also reminded me of the river that winds along my neighborhood, especially when the morning fog rolls in.



I just happened to be working on this gypsy image I picked up from the Graphics Fairy and thought it would be fun to work her into the background.



Click on the image for a larger version.


I added and played with a few images I have from Deviant Scrap
and came up with "Wings For Rent". Another fun digi challenge.

Do you think she might want to trade in her mandolin for a pair of wings?

Hope your Monday is off to a creative start.

    What a beautiful scene you've created! Yes, I think she wants to trade in her mandolin for the wings...they look so inviting floating in midair. May I have some, too?

    So beautiful, Anna! I love what you have done with this background. If I were her, I'd trade my mandolin for wings, wouldn't you?

    Anna, your collage is fantastic - so colourful and beautiful and a great starting point for so many interpretations. She really has a difficult choice to make between the mandolin and the wings - maybe her music will give her wings. A big thank you for participating in the challenge!
