For this challenge I went straight to the namesake of the era, the Queen herself. I used an etching taken from a portrait of Queen VIctoria painted early in her reign. I think she was 23 here. Amazing to think of someone so young ruling an empire!
Background is Victorian wallpaper from Songbird Avenue, enbellishments are from Scrapbook Flair and the stamps were Googled.
Fantastic creation.
ReplyDeleteGreat image. Love it.
This is gorgeous, love the background and elements. beautiful work.xx
ReplyDeleteShe was so regal, even at 23. I love all of the elements you have put together. This has a very "Victorian" look to it!
ReplyDeleteRegal indeed!
ReplyDeletestunning and so elegant!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful blend if image, background and elements. Beautifully done! Thanks for joining us this week.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work, Linda...excellent image of Queen Victoria! This piece could be used on a book cover, absolutely wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely proper Victorian lady Linda...I love her parrot...beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous work, Linda. She was so young for such a position.
ReplyDeletewell this is so so victorian. You captured the feeling!
ReplyDeleteShe was quite a beautiful woman in her youth and nothing like the dour lady we all think of now. This is lovely my friend.
ReplyDeleteA lovely combination of elements and vintage colors Linda. What a great rendering of the Queen when she was younger too. Is that an African Gray parrot on her hand? A beautiful entry for this theme!
ReplyDeleteYou captured this perfectly - it has that real Victorian feel to it. Just great!
ReplyDeleteLinda, this is delightful - the border you have added gives it a real Victorian touch. And, I love the parrot!
ReplyDeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to see the young Victoria, instead of the sour old Queen of later years. This is beautiful. Great artwork.
