Rose, that's gorgeous! :D I really love the soft, muted colors and then that bright pop of red in her dress! Nicely done! The brushwork is really good, too.

And it even has one of my favorite songs in it...which I fondly refer to as "the stalker song." xD

Oh my goodness Rose!! That's just too gorgeous! :swoon: I love it! As Thenediel said, I love the colors....and then arwen in black and white with her red dress really stands out....it's amazing!

Here be my entry.....Although I absolutely cannot post it without giving major Kudos to Gil, whose gorgeous layout on her lovely site inspired me for this....thanks Gil! :hug: (although mine isn't half as great as hers!)

Wow, beautiful volleys, both of you! :surprise: Rose, I love the colors and the aged feel you gave it. EA, the coloring you used really brought out the red of the dress! They're both so beautiful, I can't wait to see more!

Rose of Rivendell: I have only one word to say. WOW! Your volley is absolutely gorgeous. I love how, although simple looking, there are alot of beauiful elements. I love how the backround is kinda muted with the coloring and then Arwen is wearing the red dress. It just pops out so stunningly! Great Job. :)


Elven Archer: Oh my! I just love your volley. It is looks so fresh looking. I love the black and white color scheme with only Arwen's dress being red. It adds a touch of elegance to it. ;) Another thing that I just loved was the way your presented the text. I dont know why, but I just love it! Brilliantly made overall!


I can't wait to see what you both come up with next in the upcoming rounds! :D

OMG, EA! :jawdrop:

Your blend is absolutely brilliant. It's really leaving me speechless. *searches for some words*
The black and white overall colour fits so well with Arwen's red dresses and the other red elements. Moreover, I really like the quote you've chosen and the way you've arranged it as well as the other text. And the Evenstar gives everything a "last touch". It really looks absolutely amazing, stunning, breathtaking, elegant, beautiful...*could go on for ages*! :angel:
Really brilliant job! :)

Aww thanks Rin! :hug:

:jawdrop:

*gaspeth*

WOW! :-o That is just sooo amazing Rose. I think you are getting better at graphics before my very eyes. :swoon: I like the kind of paper texture, and the colors are lovely. But I really like how you put the tree of Gondor on there. And you brushes are stunning! :drool: It's an amazing piece. :)

Here be mine....I finally got it done. :)
