Art Nouveau

This is my entry for the Sunday Postcard Art challenge "Art Nouveau". When I think of that period of art the wonderful posters of Mucha come to mind and so this digital expression tries to bring that feeling through with fabric, color, design and images from that period. All of those elements were scanned and layered in Photoshop with soft light filters and gaussian blur.
