Blog Challenge: Bathing Beauties

Time to start submitting your entries for the next Lunagirl Moonbeams Blog Challenge: Bathing Beauties!

This theme could include the fabulous flapper bathing beauties you see here, or Victorian ladies in their ruffled vintage swimsuits, classical nudes emerging from the waves or the bath, even mermaids ...

This challenge (#3) will end at 11:55 pm on June 16 ~  The winner will be selected randomly and will receive a free Lunagirl digital collage sheet of his or her choice.

Be creative but stick to the theme (obviously) :)
Any craft or medium is OK,
No more than 3 entries from one person in each challenge, and
Please link back to my blog and/or Lunagirl.com on your site if you have one.
It's preferable that your entry be a new piece created for the challenge, but I'm not going to worry about that...
Of course I love if you use at least one Lunagirl product, but I'm not going to worry about that either so no rule there!
Most important is have fun, get creative, enjoy vintage.








To start your creative ideas going, here are some lovely bathing beauty creations by the Lunagirl Moonbeams Design Team!
You can also be inspired by my
LUNAGIRL digi sheets and LUNAGIRL images on CD.

Petra Berendsen: "The beautiful image of a bathing Beauty is from the digital collage sheet Bathing Beauties. The image is set on various layers of Authentique paper. All edges are distressed with Black Soot distress ink. I embellished the card with a stamped postmark, buttons, organza ribbon and bakers twine."

  2. I'm about to enter the challenge, but I don't see any challenge rules. There sure must be some rules. Without rules, the world will break into chaos!
    Or maybe not.
    Anyway, I'll link up my entry in a bit, after searching a bit more for rules!

    1. I guess I'm a little on the wild side b/c I hadn't thought to set up rules until earlier today when I saw someone else had some on their challenge!
      Some basic rules would be:

      Any craft or medium is OK,
      No more than 3 entries from one person in each challenge, and

    2. That is a fast reply! I'm all set then :) I had made this card this morning for another challenge and was checking other challenges, as I used an image I don't use often and wanted to show it around hehe. Also, it was my first try at a vintage card. Next time I am going to bend the rules and try to make a vintage card for a man. Although maybe that is too hard a challenge for myself. Can a card have no lace, flowers or ribbons and still be/look/feel vintage?
      Past bedtime for me here now ( in the Netherlands), so goodnight! I'm going to think of vintage cards for a man, (a man that doesn't like lace, ribbons, or girlyness on a card).
      Debbie.

    3. Oh one more thing, another good rule could be that people should follow/subscribe by e-mail to your blog (although I don't know how that is being checked). I love your images, I've only seen a few now but I can tell there's lots to choose from! Bellydancers! (I've done that myself for 7 years). :D

    4. To answer your question, I think "vintage" style definitely does NOT have to include lace, flowers, ribbons, etc.! Vintage does not have to be synonymous with frilly or frou frou; even "Victorian" is more than lace and flowers. Vintage can be simple, elegant, gothic, dark, playful, art deco, art nouveau, sinister, inspiring, wistful, masculine, feminine, Victorian, Edwardian, Regency, shabby, cottage, retro, mid-century, or any/all of the above!
