Art Creations Friday - Springtime in Paris

Springtime in Paris

This week the theme for the Art Creations Friday Challenge was this beautiful freebie I gave out some time ago. I was so honored they used one of my freebies. Of course, this is one of my favorite images and I had to meet the challenge.

I decided to do a springtime digital. Some of my best Spring's were spent with my first husband in Paris. There is just something about that city that makes my heart skip a beat. Everyone should put on their bucket list a trip to Paris in the Spring!

    I just recently found your blog and love it! What a beautiful picture of this young parisian. Very soulful and love how you made her as if she's gazing at us.

    This is SO gorgeous Elizabeth! I'm going to try and make a transfer out of it!
    I did my first transfer yesterday from an image from Karen (Graphics Fairy) It was fun and I headed out today to get some more tranfer sheets!
    If it turns out I'll send you the image!

    I remember sitting at a cafe with fresh peonies on the table within view of Sacre-Coeur ... that memory is fresh in my mind all these years later ... I would Love to return one day with my sweetheart.

    Your artwork is always so striking--and this one, especially, is just gorgeous--what you did with the image is just stunning! I wish I knew how to do the digital type of creating; I have Photoshop Elements and can never figure out those layers and how I can get them to work with all of the backgrounds and pictures I have. So I just keep doing things with paper . . .
