Mist - Challenge 41 of 100 Challenges at Digital Whispers

I've been busy creating. Glad that the blog is up and running again. Seems there has been faults with it.
I used the kit Link Your Inner Voice for the figures.  The ballerina was from Effie's blog, listed under my favourite blogs at the bottom of this page. Wish I could get them to show up at the side again.  Oh well.  One of these days I will learn how to create a nice blog.

This one I created for Art and Images by Kim group /pocketpacketfridays  The theme was cherries. I found it incredibly difficult to come up with anything. I don't like pink very much, but cherry blossom is beautiful so I had to add some.  The woman is from FarFarHill blogspot.  I altered it.

I'm not having much success with trying to create glows on faces.  I found a candles photo on DeviantArt and combined it with a photo of my grandson.  I darkened one of the layers of grandson, added a brighter layer and then added highlights. I should have used gaussian blur for the layers of light. Kept messing with the layer effects and added a noise filter which helped cover up my mistakes a little. I'm not happy with this one but will keep trying.

Having fun creating images of my grandchildren

I've been experimenting with trying to create a glow in faces. Easier said than done. It worked with this stock image of Skydancer at DeviantArt. He shares some fantastic images on there. Well worth a visit. I think my Grandson's face is too yellow. Not really happy with it.  The lighting on the left of the picture was a BBQ. Not a successful photo, but I liked the lighting effects.

I used Marta VanEck Steampunk kit for the background. Various other elements from other kits used too. I cut out the golden globe myself from old photographs. I cannot remember who originally posted the globe photo.

Fantastic kits at DeviantScrap. Most of the elements are from the Steamtown Detectives kit by Beth Rimmer. I've altered bits and pieces, such as adding the chimney stacks and the monkey Rd sign. Cannot remember where the popcorn machine came from. Probably one of Effie's.

Another super kit from DeviantScrap This one is called: Your Inner Voice. I could kick myself that I accidentally deleted one of the zip files so don't have the complete kit.

floral/Roman challenge at Digital Whispers

Another fun challenge at Digital Whispers this week. I've posted the credits and images I used beneath the picture. I love the brushes. I really must remember to use brushes more.  I chose a clock because Romans gave us the concept of time. I'm not always happy about it because birthdays were too slow to come around when I was a kid, and now they are all too close together. 24 hours in a day is not enough.

Sweet kit that I won

I love this fresh looking kit.  I was lucky enough to win it. Thanks  Elle de mai
This is my little grandson exploring the environment and enjoying the tulips.

 

Digital Whispers Challenge

Loved the challenge this week at Digital Whispers. We were given a glass globe to do something with.  There is something very inspiring about globes.  I just let my imagination rip with this one.  I submitted my pic without the addition of my little grandson.  He's really into climbing frames at the moment, much to the trepidation of my daughter :-)  Here he is out on a limb on a giant daffodil.
Thomas B. of Germany - Stock.xchng provided the globe. I sort of straightened it out by using the sphere filter and converting the globe to a rectangle.  Liked the way it swept up the sides and distorted the daffodils.  I then used a flood filter for the background and for the individual globes.  Found a lovely waterfall image which I downloaded on DeviantArt.  As per usual, I don't know who created it. If you know, please alert me so's I can give credits.

Wings freebie

I've been doodling again. These wings may be useful to you? No credits required and please do not sell these either on their own or as part of a kit.  Credits would be nice if you use them in a project and it would be nice if you link back to me.  I'm posting these as .png files. You should be able to just right click on them and download to your computer.
They are 6x12 inches so will show up much clearer in the actual files.
Enjoy!

The Pecking Order

At last, I seem to be inspired again. I've produced a few scrapbook pages of my grandchildren. Other than that, not much at all.  The challenge at Digital Whispers dark challenge group this week was a picture of a rather cute cat. I'm not a cat person at all, and am know to refer to them as bird murderers. Payback time I thought *wicked grins*

I've used a variety of elements for this image. Some of them are from Holliewood's nightmares kit. Of course I haven't jotted down what else I used. Will come back to this when I have made some notes.
