For the Three Muses Challenge this week.
No jokes this week! This lovely image is from a little Carte de Visite that I bought recently and I thought it was perfect for the challenge. I'm presuming the children are both girls although in the days when this photo was taken little boys were often dressed in what we now would consider to be girl's dresses so the smaller child could be a boy?
Credit to playingwithbrushes on Flickr. for the background.

ReplyDeletei also have these problems recognizing these victorian kids as boys or girls... anyway, they are a wonderful pair!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, Ali, I'll just have to wait 'til next week for a bit of hilarity!!
ReplyDeleteThis is simply beautiful! The mother must be very proud of her children. I love the rich warm colours. Ali, it's okay to be serious sometimes!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, lovely girls!
ReplyDeleteHi Ali,
ReplyDeleteMade my spin and splash background with alcohol inks.
Oh wow this is simply wonderful Ali, and makes me think of why women were considered unequal to men in those days, it was revenge at being dressed as a girl for your first five years!!! Tee hee. Brilliant my friend.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful image you used..love the whole card.
ReplyDeleteLove the image and the background is awesome!
ReplyDeleteDon't apologize for not giving us a joke today, Ali! We are seeing another side of you and we like what we see! Your picture is absolutely beautiful - and beautifully coloured. I love it - a lot. The rosy background is exquisite. Fantastic take on the theme. (I think they are both girls!)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful pair the woman has. You did a fab job of colorizing these. Fabulous!

ReplyDeleteBut oh my...i don't have to be disapointed because this piece Ali is realy BRILLIANT.

Perhaps a strange question...
Witch font have you used for writing your name ? I like it.
