Photo Art Friday - "Vintage"

Happy Friday!  Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day with family and friends. Bonnie of Pixel Dust Photo Art, has suggested that this week we post a piece of photo art that has been sitting in our archives.

This is a photo of a dahlia in my garden.  It had rained earlier and the petals were still dripping wet.  I used photoscape for editing and and transforming the colorful photo to sepia tones.  I placed the post card image (I'm pretty sure it was from the Graphic's Fairy)  on top and manipulated the opacity.  I like the old vintage feeling.





I was thinking about the word "Vintage" this morning.  I have lived long enough that many of the items from my past are now referred to as vintage.  Many of them could also be called antique.  But vintage has a much nicer ring to it.  I would much rather be referred to as a "Vintage Woman" than I would an "Antique Woman" !!             
Have a lovely week!

  4. I love the vintage feel to this, it is gorgeous and yes vintage is so much nicer than antique! although at the end of some days antique is what I feel.
