Altered Image!

A while ago the lovely Ignacio of Nicecrane Designs sent me some lovely Original Vintage Ladies images to play with and I made this, well this time I decided to use one of the images for Christmas. I have really 'played' this time and have actually changed the colour of the ladies clothes! Wasn't sure if this would work, but they coloured beautifully with Promarkers to give them a really festive look - (hope you don't mind Ignacio) but it just shows how versatile these images can be. My background uses the Stampendous Snowy Postcard and Christmas Greetings and LOTV recipe for my layers.

I am entering this at
Crafts-Too - Vintage Christmas - pt. 2 Polychromatic

Thanks for visiting and I hope you all enjoy the rest of the weekend.
