Description This is a "digital collage", therefore an attempt was made to make it look like a collage; i.e., there's little blending or getting rid of ragged edges or white lines, and other things I would normally do when creating a traditional photo-manipulation. See my gallery for other such deviations.

I really do like the scrapbook/collage thing you did here, it is a good way to combine all of the stock requirements The subtle use of the textures lends a sort of vintage feel to it and it works great

I liked the little thumb-preview very much, but if I ever click on it the picture does not open. But when I tried to enlarge it by the zoom, it suddenly worked. I have tried this several times, always with the same result ... I must download it to see it completely, zooming it here online shows only a part of it. (hmmm hope you can understand my stumbling english again ... ) Maybe it would help if you upload it again, but I don't know it it is only my computer or if others also cannot see it by once clicking ...)

All in all, I wanted to take some inspiration because it looks so cute, like those little christian easter-pictures I got when I was a child. You made the colours so familiar to each other, it looks so much Easter-alike! Want to be a child again to get nervous if the easter-bunny has really hidden something exciting for me ... guess you know what I mean

You know, it's happening to me too. I have no idea why. The only think I can think of is, I had edited the original version and reupload it. Maybe there's a problem because I did that. I'm in beta and there's something new dA is trying out. Maybe that's what causing the problem. I'm going to take off the beta just long enough to reupload the new version. See if that will fix it.

Sarasai In reply to TheFantaSim [2011-04-20 17:03:40 +0000 UTC]

oh yes, exacttly this problem I also had once after re-uploading. I just uploaded it a third time, and then it worked.

Your picture is sooo cute! You know what, I took it for our copyshop for to write down the days we have closed on Easter. I hope you don't mind it! I showed the work to my collegue, and he also said immediately that it reminds him to those little pictures he got when he was a child. We both love your picture sooo much!

Oh, wow! No I don't mind you sharing, and that's about the nicest thing anyone away from dA has said about my work. That just put a big smile on my face!

Hello, thank you for sharing. The colors and textures work well. It really looks like an Easter collage. I can tell you had fun working on this one. It looks playful and fanciful. I know viewers will have a good time exploring the details picking out the eggs.

This is most excellent work my dear !You've done such a fabulous job incorperating the required stocks ! It looks almost vintage , and it's so festive !! I have only 1 critique , Along the sides of the flowers and egges , the edge is cut and bordered , yet the grass near the top is not.I would suggest keeping the same bordering all the way around.

TheFantaSim In reply to brandrificus [2011-04-17 13:16:01 +0000 UTC]

It was an accident when that grass "popped up" and I kinda liked it so it stayed. But you think it's better without? I agree, really, gives it a nice neat edge. Will change.

I've been really turned on by collages that I've seen at dA, but I don't have the materials or the work space to do them. Then I found out about doing collages digitally, and I've been collecting antique stock like crazy ever since. I like doing them. There's no set rules!
