digital journal magic

just finishing week two of my on-line class

with marie otero

WOW!!! what a lot of info

i've worked with layers

usually 4 or 5 of them

but for this class i'm using 15 to 20!!

tools i've never touch, clipping masks,

combining brushes, filters, effects, text,

creating my own patterns, learning new tips and tricks

and having fun while doing it!!

above my finished project

"paris in the spring"

------

elements i used in my project

several photos taken on my trip to paris last spring

i used a different filter on each , cutout, poster edge and threshold

an old street map and an old letter i found at the antique market

clip art of a compass and postage stamp

the blossoms are from marie

for my first project

i wasn't sure what to do

i've never been one to scrapbook or journal

so i decided to use my recent photos from my visit

to my friends farm in claremont

-----

----
i used the cutout filter for the barn and horse photos

and the threshold filter for the grasses photos

and then chose a colour from the evergreens behind the barn

i found an old coffee stained postcard, a ticket and postage

the background was a combination of paper and brushes

----

i'm looking forward to week three
