Something I want to spend more time exploring in 2012 are my digital design skills. I have some new books and want to work thorugh them to become more fluent manipulating and creating in PhotoShop.
Today I played around with Overlays using the January Collage Elements from Green Paper.
I started with that wistful little girl, and then converted the other two elements into overlayers to provide subtle imagery and text. This is what I looked like when I was done.
Next I printed out my collage and added lots of Distress inking and a bit of stamping including some more text and a sentiment … I love the end result.
Oh, this is beautiful. I’ve not tried digital collaging yet; this work is an inspiration! Love the colors you used. Most of my work is very vintage like this one. I’m going to experiment!
Love this! Beautiful!
Very cool. Love the overlays. I, too, am determined to step up my digital skills this year.
This is really pretty. I love how it turned out.
stunning Steff. I like the idea of using the images as overlays. Must learn how to do that.
Awesome job!
Wow, this is a really nice photoshop collage. I need to upload PS and learn how to use it. What I’m using now, isn’t cutting it. FTS 🙂
