Theme ; Challenge " TakeAWord "  / ANGEL

This is probably not my most time consuming photoshop design

but in order to follow the theme I used this postcard

with some cute little angels.

A while ago I found this Photoshop action that I had to try,

and that I have to share with you !!

It's such a easy going action which also works in

photoshop Elements. (According to the maker)

 I've tested it in an older PScs2 version of my and it worked too

****************************

It creates a paper map of a small box . Printable !!

You just have to download it and to instal it YOUR PSversion.

Easy peasy :-)

(this is a clickable smaller sample, the real size is A4)

I didn't had time yet to print it - cut out - and fold

but isn't it a fun idea for a personal gift ?

Ofcourse you can use a photo from your own stash but

if you want to grab my postcard to try it....feel free !!

About the sheets and for your INSPIRATION.

Thinking about India is thinking about colorful people,

a rich culture and a diversity of religions.

*Think of the colorful festivals like "Happy Holi Phagwa" - Diwaldi and Sankriti.

*Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism.

*New Delhi - Mumbai - The Tai Mahal - the national park valley of flowers !!

*Think of paisley patterns and textiles. Kashmir (cashmere wool)

*The traditional Indian dance styles such as the Bharatanatyam

*Bollywood !! The Ganges river, Yoga. The "holy"cow. The tasteful curries !!

And the snake charmer !!

*And...at least..think about Mehndi art ! ( henna tattoos)

Well...do I have to tell more ? Amen ! LOL.

Ofcourse the sheets are not only available as PNG's but as JPEG's as well !!

Theme ;  Challenge Take A Word  /  ROSES

 

A collage this week...which looks better (I think) if you enlarge it.

Eduardo Recife -  Mrs LU  and Finnabair

My excuse for this early post, but I have a busy day ahead :-)

Theme  ;  Challenge TheThreeMuses  / VINTAGE.

 

I had a hard time coming up with a idea for this theme

and actually this is my second piece.

I didn't threw the first one away but I wanted to share a more personal image with you which I thougt would suit this theme also.

When I was recently in the states, we also visited the Amish people in Pennsylvania. Their "vintage" way of life intrigues me and I loved meeting these kind people.

I took this photo of my DH Johan when we bought some fruit and drinks in the store and after we visit their bakery and stables as well.

Because we couldn't pay with our creditcard, Johan (still struggling with the foreign currency) opened his purse and the nice lady was so helpfull to grab the money by herself.  LOL

*****************************************

To give this photo an even older look, I followed a tutorial again.

Named ; the Nashville effect which you can find → HERE ←

Ofcourse it would have been easier to use a free online Photoshop Action

but than it would have been no challenge to me !!

It looks rather vintage don't you think ?

If only Johan had worn a farmers shirt !!  :-))

As promised....The winner is........
