Process: Duplicated photo, changed copy to black and white / masked it and brushed out the bow area to bring out the pink color of the bow.  I added a layer and painted on a little color on the cheeks.  Clipped photo to FotoBlendz.  Used various layers from the multimedia balloons to add brush work.  Finished off with another layer to paint a little color into the brushwork flowers.

Up up

Oh, oh, oh!  Let's go fly a kite Up to the highest height! Let's go fly a kite and send it soaring Up through the atmosphere Up where the air is clear Oh, let's go fly a kite!

Okay it’s not a kite, but balloons fly and go up too ;>)

Process:  extracted the photo of my granddaughter, added it to the background, attached balloon so that it looks like she is holding it.  Added text and framed it.  Since this is all about the “up” I added a few text “up”, using overlay blend mode on the back ones.

Inspired by Anna’s watercolor tutorial, loved working through it.  If you get a chance check it out here. Can’t wait until part 2 arrives.

Process: I started with the photo of my granddaughter and followed Anna’s watercolor tutorial.  I copied the 3 photos to make it pop some more and reduced the opacity of the second copy a bit.  I added the   6 X6 Artsy Kardz paper for the background.  Added a frame, some brushes on some of the edges and finished off with the fotoglow and wordart.  I was playing with adding some elements, but thought it took away from the page.   I just love how this turned out.

Princess

It's not always easy being a princess.  This is one of my granddaughters friends at her birthday princess party.
