This is pure wow. The bold colors, the brush work, the border. Very powerful.

I also love tulips! Unfortunately, so do the deer. All but one of our tulip clusters were chewed clear to the ground this year.

The base paper is from Joyce Paul's Zoo Time, Paper Messy 4. Then I used Crafty Button's Mask for the large photo. Another paper, Paper 8, from Palvinka's Boy Zone is then layered on top of both with 31% opacity. Credits in gallery. Thanks for the challenge.

This is so interesting, Debby. Now I know where you get your own green thumb genes. What a beautiful tribute to your mother.

I love the idea of this challenge. I chose the tulip. Thanks for the opportunity!

Wow. Thank you so much. I know this LO looks simple, but it was actually difficult to achieve that ethereal effect given the original photo. Your words are very king. I appreciate the blog post honor!

Thanks, Marilyn. I worked really hard on that blending. First, I placed a high key filter on the image. An extraction was way too jarring, so I had to blur the background with a depth of field tool (mom is sitting behind baby, wearing a white dress) and then blur it again, then blur the photo...

Thanks, bitzee! That is exactly what I was going for!

Here is one from me. Thanks for the challenge.

I loved your take on selecting out a piece of lyrics from this most famous song. I had the perfect photo! Thanks for the challenge!

Thanks so much! I am honored! I futzed around with the background forever, and was happy with the way it all turned out! Much appreciated.

Oh goodness! I saw your comment before I checked my email and the newsletter. Need to get right over there!
