And now. . . for something completely different! I've been doing digital stuff for a couple of years using Paint Shop Pro - always the current version available. It is a fantastic, powerful program.
One of my favorite digital scrapbook stores is Scrapbookgraphics Studio Girls, and one of my very favorite designers is Tangie Baxter. She just came out with the most fantastic, bizarre, wonderful, shades of "Monty Python's Flying Circus" kit called Steampunk Bandwagon. You can buy individual parts of the kit, but what the heck, just get the entire Mega Bundle. It's a huge savings if you buy the bundle, anyway.
I was so excited that immediately after downloading the kit, I plopped right down in front of my laptop and designed the following layout. This one took me about 5 hours to choose elements, reduce, enlarge, crop, enhance and shade. I'm actually using this for my live, local card swap group for this month's theme of things that fly. It's a stamp club, but hopefully they won't shoot me for sharing a digital creation.
This was so much fun! You can click on the picture to see a much larger version. Notice that Mona Lisa is holding a souvenier sized Statue of Liberty, minus the shades and bling I adorned her with in the larger version.
This kit just has so many possibilites. I know I'll be playing with this one for a long time!
Hope you enjoy this as much as I do!

Hi Cathy! THANK YOU so much for visiting my blog! I'm glad you like my latest collaborative piece. YOURS is TOO DIE FOR! I can't believe how adept you have become at PhotoShop Pro! I'm just drooling over this piece!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBe still my heart. I'm not surprised to read it took you five hours; my girlfriend does lots of digi art. Your group will be amazed at your work. I sent your post along to my girlfriend because it is so inspirational. She uses studio girls too. I keep saying I want to try digi art but can't find the time. You're making me rethink. Awesome art girlfriend.
