I had to try it again !
This style is so exciting to learn that i had to use a photo of myself!
Can't help it. LOL
Theme; Challenge The Three Muses / FUN & GAMES
Last week I found on my attic again a old Dutch magazine. "The Margriet"
(I search there a lot since I photoshop LOL)
And what a surprise! Exactly in the middle of that magazine i found a awesome image of this "zwemmende ganzenspel"
The swimming GOOSE GAME
It seems if Sinterklaas threw it right into my lap for this challenge haha.
There was only ONE difficulty, precise in the middle of the goose there sat 2 staples and a little tear! Grrrr
So what have i done ? I repaired it in Photoshop with the clone-stamp and hopppaaa..i was ready to play with my goose !!

NOTICE !
If you like the (original and repaired) goose-background,
I share it gladly as a FREEBIE and FULL SIZED on my website.

Joehoeoeoeoeeeee :-)Pfjoeiii...how must I discribe my feelings about the earlier challenge in English.
I can't...realy i can't express my self enough in that language !
HOW MUCH JOY and gratitude it gave me, that i won the 50th challenge !!
I never win something !
Incredibly, unbelievable but owwww what a PLEASURE to read that they choose mine entry. I felt myself soooo honoured !! I was/am happy as a child ! grinnnn
What a difficult decision it has must be for the ladies of ACF.
There where so many amazing and unique ARTworks to see ! I'm glad that i didn't have to choose one. For me they were ALL winners !!

Thank you so much my dear friends; Hermine, Wil, Femmy and Petra.
You have to know that i admire Wil's ART and now to be allowed to recieve this stunning canvas from her ! I can't wait until the postman rings on my door !!
xxx Rian.
*********** ************

And now my entry for this week !
I've used a personal photo of a vacation in Germany a few years ago.
Altered it in photoshop with; textures (made by myself this time)
changed blendingmodes - opacities - curves - different adjustmentlayers
etc. etc.
The background from Hermine i have cut in pieces !
I've duplicate the fish stamp, used a part of the background for the sky
and placed "dreams" in the centre.
When you enlarge my entry i think it's better to see.
Thanks kindly for looking and hearty greetings to you all.

Theme; Challenge ArtCreationsFriday.
Escpecialy for the ladies from ACF...a DUTCH written blog !!
(But feel free to translate.)
Dus dames...deze keer geen "moeilijkdoenerij" maar gewoon weer 'ns een keer lekker op z'n Hollands.(leest zo gemakkelijk weg hè)

Alleréérst wil ik jullie graag feliciteren met jullie 1e verjaardag !!
Ten 2e; vooruit ik zing 'n keer ♪♪ LANG ZULLE JULLIE LEVUUUHHH ♪♪
♪♪HIEP HIEP HOERAAAAA HIEP HIEP HOERAAAAA ♪♪
En ten derde...wil ik hier graag eens mijn BEWONDERING voor jullie uitspreken voor die wékelijkse uitdaging. Ga d'r maar aanstaan !! Iedere week trouw een plaatje/photo/achtergrond enz. enz. aanbieden. En dan ook nog vaak persoonlijk gemaakt of gekocht !! Vervolgens al die deelnemers bezoeken en er 'n commentje typelen. Hoe tijdrovend moet dat voor jullie wel niet zijn !!

En dan wij...jullie deelnemers. Ik kan tuurlijk alleen maar voor mezelf spreken maar jullie moesten 'ns wéten hoeveel plezier ik tijdens m'n gefreubel heb !
Wanneer ik jullie uitdaging weer "voor mijn kiezen" krijg (lol) blijft 't steeds weer 'n verrassing HOE LANG ik er soms over doe, (jaja NACHTwerk maar dat vind deze uil hélemaal niet erg) en wat 't uiteindelijke resultaat is.

Wat ik ook nog graag wil delen is 't volgende... zonder dat jullie daar notie van hadden, heeft ACF voor mij ook zoveel deuren geopend!
Niet alleen mijn pers. groei met het photoshop programma wisten jullie te stimuleren...maar ook de deur naar het WORLD WIDE WEB w.b. challenges. Mede door jullie heb ik zoveel dames leren 'kennen' en ook dat waardeer ik enorm !

Tot slot; Lieve dames, nogmaals 'n dikke veer voor jullie en ik hoop nog vaak mee te kunnen doen ! Héél veel dank van mij! xxx
(Zo..en NOU gaaaaa ik voor die fantastische prijs van Wil.) Komt ie...
