Alice, Daughter of Victoria

I'm an avid fan of the series Victoria on pbs. I noticed in several episodes that Victoria was seen doing watercolors. So I googled and discovered she was quite accomplished and often used her family as subjects. I thought this one of Alice, her second daughter was so charming, I wondered it was a paper doll during the Victorian era. And the new Sashsay bundle was a perfect choice with it's vintage accents.

Copy: Growing up in the shadow of her older siblings, sister Princess Victoria, who married a German emperor, & Prince Albert Bertie Edward, who became King Edward VII, Alice had an interesting life. She also married German royalty, her daughter married a Tsar, & she is the great grandmother of Prince Phillip. Alices sixth & most famous child, Alexandra, born in 1872 & who married Grand Duke Nicholas, later Tsar Nicholas was also executed by the communists in 1918.

Supplies:
ArtPlay Sashsay Bundle

Process notes:
I used SolidPaper No. 1 as my base. I added several transfers and few elements from the multi-media art on top of the page to give a Victorian look. I then placed my watercolor art of Alice, and a linear mask from the bundle and clipped them together. Masked out parts of the clipped art to blend better into the background. Duplicated Alice two times, placed one as is=s on the left side and reduced the opacity to 75%. Placed two on the right side. Used the luminosity blend mode on one to give a shadow look and placed it behind the colored Alice. Added a few accents like buttons on her bonnet, the copy and the title.

Thanks for looking.
I'm also a big Victoria fan! I also noticed the painting scenes, so it's great that you pursued it to find out more. An informative and appealing page!
 
Oh Be Still My Heart! Another Victoria fan here, and I adore her watercolor works. Christy this is so perfect for the new APP, with the lovely painting and story to accompany. A series of the children would be lovely.
 
Don't have a tv, so didn't know about Victoria. Interesting stuff. I think you might be right about the paper doll, and the Sashay transfers are perfect.
 
The paper dolls are so well used to bring us this info about Victoria. Love your watery effect to compliment her interest.
 
I love this design! The perfect use of the ArtPlay Sashsay Bundle! The Victoria Series might be interesting!
