Karen's Bushel of Blessings Sampler

Experimenting with the color pink - not usually my color but I liked the kit and thought I'd give it a go... it was fun to create something different than a memory keeping page... not sure I intended for the page to look like an advert, but hey... why not... Thank you for looking.

Page created for the Use-It-All challenge by Karen Schulz here. I also used the rest of the collection. I used the mask to blend the blue papers into the background, so they might not be seen much, but they are there. Empty nest is something that is coming soon - it is DD's last year with us...

When the kids leave home, it does feel as though pieces of the picture have fallen out, leaving empty spaces where they have been....

SEPTEMBER CHALLENGE #2 - HERITAGE

Sweet Summer Delights by Karen Schulz Designs has just been released in the Oscrap's store.

Playing with the Adobe Toon Action, got a little help from a class at Digital Scrapper

The background paper consists of two layers. The bottom layer is a brown paper. The layer above that is a paw paper with a blend mode of Linear Burn.

Love My Dog Collection by Karen Schulz

This is such a cute and versatile kit

In addition to the free minikit, I added some bits from Nature Hike II Collection, on sale for the month of July!

To mimic the style of my inspiration piece, I first ran the Underpainting and then the Palette Knife filters found in PSE on my photo. I placed a solid background paper, adding paints, stains, and word art. I framed my photo and accented it with elements from the collection.
