A play on words...

My September page for Darcy's Altered Calendar Challenge

 ...and this is how it began....

 The part of the image I kept visible is Jon's luscious locks :D

 I added lines to the background with the edge of a credit card (part of the challenge)

 I wanted to do an "autumnal" page, so stamped, coloured and cut out some of Darcy's leaves...

 The hand needed to be reaching for something, so I painted on a ripe juicy apple.

 I used the credit card again to add lines to her dress design.

 Now the tricky part...randomly select 10 words to add as a sentence to the page.

I flicked through a book and circled the words I jabbed with a pencil lol

 and got this interesting selection

 My sentence reads ...

Sparkle "Dear Caroline"

Muslin light delight,

life slammed her door.

Darcy actually meant you could add other words but I didn't read that bit lol

 My Poe quote is an abridged line from "Alone"

Enjoy :D XXX
