For more adventures with our March Mixed-Media Challenge, I decided to start with another favorite vacation photo--and I know what you're thinking, but no, that's not me in the white nightie. :) I chose an image I snapped through the gate of a gorgeous antebellum home in the heart of Charleston, South Carolina--whenever I look at it, I think back to that perfect spring day, strolling the streets and taking in the sights.

I also jumped at the chance to use one of the vintage book covers I blogged about a few weeks back (Click! You can download one too!), and was happy to discover that my small collection of vintage ephemera contained an old card from inside a library book that tied in perfectly. I loved the red of the carpet on the book cover, so I used red paint to trace the intricate design of the gate in my photo, and the rest of the work developed from there.

What artwork have you finished lately--in the spirit of the challenge, or just in the spirit of general craftiness? Hop on over to the gallery to share it with the rest of the group!

Happy Wednesday,

Jessica
