Note: All these wallpapers came out of making my entry for Match 17: Monochrome @ Wallpaper Games. Created by @Mirtillo - Co. Admin.
And Revision 24 is my entry.
Edit - Feb. 23, 2013 - Added 1920x1600 with 1900x1600.
Yes, there are 24 revision but these aren't even half of the revisions I actually have but I don't think anyone would like me posting up 72 revisions. Though I thought I had it by doing groups but that didn't work in the end. v.v.... So, I have uploaded the Blank Versions and English Text Version both in Star Bling and Light Puffs.
I do have text versions in black and white and full color in Japanese, French, Spanish, & Italian. With a note that they are translated through Google's translator. So, I don't know if the full meaning of my original text is accurate or not.
Text: "Love never ends." 1 Corinthians 13:8
It is not my original text but with so many revisions I had to limit it somehow.
The image is of Sakura from Card Captor Sakura - Manga version.
Editing Original Image
With using the original image I had extracted it and then cleaned it up by taking out the sakura blossoms on the dress. Then added in an overlayment of puffs of light and in some versions the extra stars for added bling. I personally like the puffs of light versions but the added bling is nice too.
Editing Image for Black and white versions
Added granites to her hair, dress, wings on back, wings on heart and edited where needed. Trying to keep the image as crisp and clean as possible which was so hard to do but worth it. Since, Sakura totally shines in black and white or colored.
Editing Image for Full Colored version
Colored version kept the changes to the wings on her back and the wings on the heart. As well as the granite on her dress and body. Also keeping the granite on her hair because it just shines and shimmers and it so beautiful.
Background
Background itself within either version of black and white or full color consisted of using Gimps lighting effects and a little know how of using other granite effects and filters. It had been such a long time since I didn't vector out my wall to an almost full extent I almost forgot how to use the granite effects and filters. - Almost - ^.~ - Then I came the adding in of light puffs and star bling. As well as the glow around Sakura as a whole. It was one of the last additions I made to the wall.
I do hope you enjoy this wallpaper in which ever version you like.

Thank you for the wallpaper, Card Captor Sakura is one of my favorite series and that phrase from the bible is one my favorites as well, so even so I don't really appreciate the background you get my favorite too ;)
P.S. The browser's cache don't let me see all the versions, but this morning I saw the italian version and I think the phrase "L'Amore...Non Finisce Mai" sounds better in italian than "Amore...Non Finisce Mai", just so you know ;)

Thanks dear for your entry \^.^/
You removed the translated versions? I see only the English version on the current revisions.
Anyway, about the italian translation, I checked onto the The Holy See Official website the original latin version, and its relative italian version.
I also checked the English version, and it's a bit different from your, on the Vatican website the phrase is 'Love never fails, not 'ends'. Anyway, even if is correct to translate 'Love' into the word 'Amore', the real translation with the real sense and meaning from the Holy Bible is La carità non avrà mai fine, copied/pasted from the Holy See website.
