Jessie Wilcox Smith, born in 1863, was an artist who often illustrated for Good Housekeeping magazine. I know her for her lovely images of children, and have several books containing her work. This was a vintage image from the year 1918 that I found online. I framed it with a doily, adding a paper flower and a frilly bow to mimic the little girl's dress; she reminds me so much of my sister Nancy. This is another entry for Betsy Veldman's Vintage Findings challenge. In case you haven't noticed, I'm really enjoying this!
Supplies: Hero Arts carnation layering paper, CG119 Flourish Background, CL129 Anytime Messages, CG148 Blossoms (leaves), worn lipstick, peeled paint, and versafine onyx black inks, doily, Hobby Lobby ribbon, BoBunny flamingo dot cardstock (for flower)
