I stumbled upon the 4×4 challenge today, and decided I just had to take it. It is about using any Da Vinci lady (except Mona Lisa) in your artwork. I love Leonardo’s women, so I couldn’t let this opportunity pass—even though the challenge is up tomorrow.

It was also the prompt I needed to finish working on a digital collage I had started back in—gasp!—December, and never finished. It uses three stamps (Woman in Stone by Stampington, clock by Non Sequitur, Alpha and Beta by Stampers Anonymous), which I stamped in black on white paper, scanned, resized, digitally coloured and layered to a sheet music background. Simple and fun—and I can’t believe it took me so long to complete it. I guess I had just forgotten about it until the challenge came up!
