I chose a very open theme for Mixed Media Monday this week - opposites attract. I was thinking along the lines of black and white, but in the end opted for vintage creams and sepia with a splash of red for contrast. The piece is done on a canvas board 12.7 x 17.8 cm or 5 x 7 inches. The background is made up of vintage papers and music sheet, and other collage elements, and then distressed with gesso and distress inks. Then I added lots of vintage laces, and the woman was printed onto a fabric sheet. Some tiny, tiny buttons and a flower motif were the finishing touches and the contrast needed for this challenge.

What a beautiful example you've given us, Diane! This is soft and feminine and lovely.
Beautiful art! Love the variety of laces you have embellished with...really lovely.
I had a little photo-fun with this challenge....certainly far afield from the beautiful example we were given!

Diane. it is more than beautifull, I so love the romantic feel,in this, and to finish with the red contrast, so great.I mean romantick and red belongs in another way together, even it is contrasting in color.
