This week’s Sunday Postcard Art challenge was "Black and White."

I created this using GIMP 2.8.16.

The vintage images are from an Internet search. (See the side of my blog for links.)

The words are from songs and movies.

The font is Courier New Bold.

This week’s Moo Mania challenge was "Starlet."

Bette Davis is my favorite 1940s movie star. I used a GIMP script to create the slide.

The images are from Dr. Macro, the Background Fairy, and an Internet search.

The words can be found here.

The font is A Year Without Rain.

"Bette Davis" - Black, White, and Silver

The GC23 Gingersnap Creations challenge due by Oct 18 is “Black, White, and Silver.” I made a greeting card featuring Bette Davis, one of my favorite actresses. I used dark silver for the background colors. I printed it on parchment paper card stock, which scanned in looking slightly pink. I used Serif’s PagePlus SE version 1.0 to layout the image so it would print like a greeting card.

"Postage People" - Bette Davis

This week’s Sunday Postcard Art challenge was “Postage People.” I never heard of these before, so I don’t know whether or not I made mine correctly, but I had fun doing it. My primary postcard is Bette Davis. I also decided to make Frank Sinatra and Marilyn Monroe (see below), to get more practice using GIMP. I got their heads (postage stamps) from the US post office. The bodies are made from other sources, and are not their own. For a detailed description, see blog post "Postage People" - Detailed Description below.
