Vintage Chic from Beverly Cowan


I am loving the vintage images from Queen Kat Designs this month. This image is digital and called Douglas and Emma, designed by artist Beverly Cowan.
I decided to make a triptych, which is a "set of three." Instead of coloring the images with all colors of Copics, I colored the entire boxed imageof each in one solid color, adding a little more depth to her dress and his suit. For even more highlight, I added diamond Stickles to her dress. I framed them with black card stock.

I used a sheet of American Crafts paper from the Take A Note stack for the background, distressing the edges with ink. After placing my images, I added a string of pearls (from a broken necklace), and a bit of lace for the top. In the bottom corner, I shaded part of a paper doily with coordinating colors and stamped the sentiment using another QKD image from the Birthday collection. I added some contrast to the patterns in the doily with black gel pen.

For a finishing touch, a threw on some sequins for extra sparkle. Do you like to dance?   I LOVE to dance, but I can't do it well, so I am a self-proclaimed "chair dancer," meaning I dance fantastically in my chair, but when I get on the dance floor, well, it's not pretty, let me just say...

Looking for vintage images? The QKD Shop is the place to find them! If you need some inspiration, visit the QKD Facebook page as well. You never know what crazy contests and prizes you'll find there on New Release nights!
