Prisiclliastyles image - Sunflower

A very good morning to you all! This is my debut card for prisicillastyles design team and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Priscilla's designs. Today I am using the Sunflower Digi Set of 3, this is such a beautiful set, the flowers are so detailed and life like.  As with all of Priscilla's designs you will find excellence in design and versatility! I loved working with this image and tried a little something different for this post.

The "Sunflower" image is totally digitally done, those rich colors were done (using the fill command) in Paint Shop Pro and then I used crystal glaze and a Sakura glitter pen on it to enhance the richness. The rest of the card was done traditionally. I love the way this turned out!!  There were a couple of adjustment layers added before the final result; the longer I played the more amazed I became! When it reach this point I decided enough was enough and I needed to stop tweaking and accept it "just like this".  I am not a digital coloring junkie! LOL

I am using the sketch from MMSC69 and have entered this into several other challenges. Thank you for stopping in; please take a look at the names of the design team for priscillastyles on the side bar and visit all the girls as you go surfing the blogs. You will be so very glad you did!!

By all means click on Priscilla's Store logo and take a tour through her images and eye candy she has for you to enjoy!! There is a brand new set being debuted, Bull Dog Digital Stamp set of 6, you will love the many personalities of this adorable canine!!

Thank you for your visit!! Leave me some "love" and please feel free to become a follower, I would love for you to become a regular visitor!

Hugs and Blessings

MMSC67-Happy Halloween!



Good evening!
I think I have become addicted to the MM challenges! :) This card is for MMSC67. Let me share the sketch and then I will tell you about my card.

I used one of Sugar Creek Hollow's images for this card, Add A Face Pumpkin.  I also used the spider from Spider Web Quilt Set.  Tracy has come up with some spectacular images for this fall, you really should become a follower of SCH, you will not find better vintage images anywhere else!

If you haven't guessed already, I will be on the Design Team again for SCH but this time as a Senior Design Team member. This is such an honor and I am thrilled to get to play with these images and share them with you. If you become a follower of my blog you will get notified when new images are being shared. We will have blog hops again this season so stay tuned for that.

Thanks for stopping in, be sure to leave me a note! I love to hear your thoughts on the cards!
hugs
