a NewChallenge


Over at Kris Dickinson's blog, Nostalgic Collage
http://nostalgiccollage.blogspot.com/ there is a new Gothic Arch Challenge. I always loved looking at the Gothic arch challenges of old, although, while still in blogger infancy, I never could figure out how to join it.
anyway, I would like very much to play in this one so here's my attempt.

I made the arch from a custom shape--would you believe an acorn? The image is from Suzee Que; the bird and music from the Graphics Fairy; the poppies from Google images; the background from pieces by Cottage Arts, Textures for Layers and Peggy Gatto. And the rest is blending, filters and PS brushes.
