Red Riding Hood

Altered Jar
Details

This is my first digital collage using Gimp. I created this image for a challenge going on at Bella Creations. They have a group called Debut Des Techniques Graphique with great tutorials to teach you how to use Gimp. If you are interested in learning more about graphic art, this is a good place to start.

The three images I used to create this collage are from the Graphic Fairy. This is a great site for images to use in collages. I merged the three images and added the text "enchanted woods". The image is embellished with seed beads and red rhinestones. Inside the jar there are twigs, stones, netting and tulle to give it the appearance of a items collected in the woods.

I am entering this jar in the following challenges:

Penny's Paper-Crafty - #58 alter it
Crafts4Eternity - #30 anything but a card
One Stop Craft - #141 vintage
Karen's Doodles - recycle it
Clear it Out - anything goes
The Paper Shelter - #24 anything goes
Craft us Crazy - anything goes
Digi Doodles Shop's Best - #69 anything goes
Allsorts - #114 free and easy
Craft your Passion - #69 anything goes

Check out the beautiful work done by the Design Teams on these sites and also the challenge submissions. You will be inspired!
