Digital Challenge

I made this really cool background using the Feb MAT over at the "arttechniqes" Yahoo group. What a fun technique. I loved playing and spreading the paint around. I can't wait to try this again with some other colors and textures. Here are the results of the background...

The other photo is for the digital challenge using your FEB MAT background. This is what I came up with. The quote is a Chinese Proverb. Hope you like the results. I was pretty happy with it myself.

Not Posting but Still Creating

I know it's been a while. I was fooling on the computer this past weekend. I created another piece of digital art. Not really anything special...just playing with some photos and filters and stuff. Here is my latest creation. Inside the bird's eye is a photo of my daughter. I think the overall effect is really cool. I let her choose the background because she was sitting with me at the time.

I also started working on a digital 365 Photo a Day digital journal. Here is my first page...

I'm Back with a new Creation

I am participating in a Gratitude Postcard Swap. See the details here on Jenn Lui's blog.... http://atrinkettreasury.typepad.com/atrinkettreasury/2008/10/a-gratitude-postcard-swap-invitation.html

I finished 2 of the 5 card fronts today. I'm going to do the other 3 after dinner. We weren't suppose to post them but since each one is a little different I figured I'd show you what I've been working on. I have learned a few new techniques recently that I incorporated into these cards. I also got a chance to play with embossing folders for my Cuttlebug.....Love them.

Sorry for the glare from the flash.

Beauty

I was inspired by Julie at http://lostluggage.typepad.com/the_land_of_lost_luggage/2008/10/something-about-yesterday.html

and her digital page based on a real journal page that I had to play with my Digital Image Pro.

I started with a photo I took of a background page I created and added parts of a picture I took when on an outing with Jillian. Then I just started adding digital elements until I got this...
