Instead, I went with 50's soft, almost dirty yellow, and imagery from that era.
Sandy's Saturday Surprise is themed "Popular Tunes". Hence the name of this atc: Thank you for the music. (Although I doubt this is what Abba had in mind!)

limited palette
Inspire me Thursday is calling for a limited color palette. I have been working with a lot of pinks and greys lately (which I adore), so for an added challenge I went with a color I find problematic: yellow. I know, there are so many shades of yellow and pink, and I could have made something really 60's mod, too, using stark, lemony yellow with a dash of hot pink, and enough black and white to balance it out.

Love this one! She's so sophisticated. ;)
ReplyDeletevery chic & congrats on exploring something elusive!
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely - I like the way you've used the music in the background - very subtle!
ReplyDeleteYou were very successful using a color you don't like! I love how you really captured that period vibe in the tones and imagery. Well done!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and elegant...would make a wonderful print for a dressing room or in a bridal boutique! Have you thought of doing a series of these; using different bridal gowns and caps...could be very marketable!
ReplyDeleteShe is so 50's...Such a wonderful piece..
ReplyDeleteThis is a lot of fun. I like how the colors work together.
ReplyDeleteYou have made great things since I was here last! Your eye for colour is admirable. Interesting hues.
ReplyDeleteKyselit Muisto-korttini kuvasta. Se on ilmaiskuva joltain nettisivulta, etsin osoitteen sinulle. Tapetteja minulla on aika paljon. On muutamia tosi hyviä, kuviollisia tapetteja, joista paria voin vaihtaa jopa metrejä, jos haluat. Muita tapetteja on pieniä määriä esim. yhden A4:n verran. Suurin osa on melko yksivärisiä ja vaaleita, mutta joukossa on vaihtelevampiakin. Värivalikoima on aika monipuolinen. Lähetä minulle sähköpostia, jos haluat vaihtaa (osoite blogissani). Omalta sivultasi en löytänyt sähköpostiosoitetta.
ReplyDeleteoh alice this is gorgeous! I love it.... have a good day! and thanx for the comment about the lady comment i made... :)
ReplyDeleteYou so deftly transported me to another time with this piece. Modern and retro at the same time.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of vintage wedding photos! Would make a very cool series.
ReplyDeleteEn löytänytkään enää linkkiä sivulle, josta löysin "Punaisen naisen". Minulla on kuitenkin kuva itselläni ja voin lähettää sen sinulle, jos haluat.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely piece you created. So stylish!
