Hello, All!!
While I could do without all of the rain we've had this week, I am LOVING the fact that my flowers are looking awesome (and I'm eagerly awaiting a few to burst into bloom), so what better theme for today than 'flowers'?! If you're joining me from Amy's Blog, I'm the last stop for today. If you just started here, feel free to head to Sue's Blog and start from the beginning to hop thru all the sites!
I am so sad that My Digital Studio will no longer be supported by Stampin' Up! at the end of this month, so decided to stay strictly 'digital' with my offerings today--I'll still post digital projects on my blog, just not on the Blog Hop days!
Back when I started to get into digital creating, I was loving all of the home decor wall art that I came across, and here are two that I copied/designed and fell in love with:
I think I had a whole series of these I wanted to design, so I just need to sit down and find the time to do that!!
The paper daisies are another favorite embellishment of mine for cards--and before the days of having the tool to 're-color' images, a few of these used drop shadows to create the colored petals!
They work GREAT to camouflage images, too!! When my niece got married in 2012, I only managed to get one good photo of the wedding party--unfortunately, my nephew was also taking a photo from the same angle and I managed to get him in the photo, too! So, a layered paper daisy was PERFECT to hide him and still be able to use the photo in my album!!
Another of my favorite digital flower embellishments is the Blooms. And they work great to camouflage, too!! With the same niece's wedding (as the above photo), I really wasn't liking how I looked in the photo, so was able to strategically place them to hide a few things!!
For this page, I selected the blooms based off of Miss Em's outfit:
And here are a couple fun cards that are in keeping with the flower theme for today, too!!
Did you know that you could create the 'rock-n-roll' technique digitally?!
For this one, I used the freeform layering tool to color in behind each of the flowers, AND recolored the washi-tape.
This positive/negative idea is very popular to create 'in real life', so it was fun to do digitally, too.
Have you ever done the 'kissing' technique? Here's a digital version of it on the raised flower!
So, that's a few digital floral idea for you for today!! I hope you've enjoyed the Blog Hop stops along the way today! For quick reference, here are the links to everyone's sites:
Happy Hopping!!
