Mary Green's January Challenge

I love the challenges that she does each month, but you have only a week to get it completed and when it falls at a busy time, I can't always squeeze it in. But... today I worked my butt off until around 2:30, then came home and played around in PS CS2. I've been buying the occasional digital art pack from Studio Tangie in the hopes of getting better at digital collage. Mary's January Challenge became what you see here.

The elements in the challenge are the picture of the girl, a certificate and a card of flowers with a verse.

I played with a few different layouts, trying to put the girl on the certificate, trying to cut out the flowers to put them in her hair, but I'm just not that good in Photoshop yet and instead of getting all frustrated, I chose to frame them with frames from a digital pack.

With her crown, she looks like a princess, just hanging around the house, leaning on a table. I love all the layers of her dress. Wonder if she was dressed up to go someplace.

Thanks for a good challenge, Mary. I'm glad I got to play this time!
