Here is my 5th and last page for the bootcamp. I always enjoy participating in challenges in the campus. I’d like to congratulate everyone that has taken part, and posted their pages. You have all done wonderful, creative pages, taking me on a journey around the world with you all. I’m not new to the campus, many of you know me for my love of taking nature photos, particularly birds and insects. For my final page, I chose this delightful little male Kinglet. I used colours from the photo using textures and overlays. I enjoy creating word art. For the tile I used the font Corona, with glyphs. I used one of Carole’s corner punch brushes on the paper under the photo. I created the frame myself, using effects, textures, sculpture, and chose a faint pattern closest to the lightest colour on the Kinglet. I have 2 extra tips for you. I also lifted the top left corner of the photo above the frame, by using the selection tool, selected a portion, promote to a new layer, placed the promoted layer above the frame. Of course it has to look realistic, and feasible, as if it was in real life. I also placed a thin orange line around the background paper. Select all, on a new layer contract by a few pixels, flood fill with orange, contract by a few pixels of choice, hit delete. A big thank you to Carole for running the bootcamp. Also Carole, thank you so much for your comment on my word art!
