            Thank you Sue, your very kind  comments  are appreciated very much.. card making has been my main hobby for many years now… i just simply  enjoy making them  and PSP  has been a great asset to have on my computer.

            best wishes to you,

                    i wanted to make some occasion cards suitable for wedding or anniversary etc so over the last few days i have been playing with a swan image from Graphic fairy  that i have had for ages. the original image is of one swan with the wing up but i wanted 2 swans in my design… so duplicated the image and then erased a wing on one image and combined them to what you see below. the floral borders were created with a brush and then i applied eye candy plugin chrome with silver and gold settings  to them.  when i printed them on my matte photo paper for my cards i was really happy with how they turned out.

                                                            i forgot to mention on earlier 2 cards i used Cassels torn edge script….. here a 2 more i have made  with a stencil background … the rose card .. for the background stencil i used a brush  … Cassels corner brushes.. PSP rose tube .. leaves from a kit purchased a few years ago.  Robin card… the bird  i painted a few years ago when learning to paint in oils..  as i can’t draw i was thankful there was a tracing in the book i purchased called painting songbirds.  the stencil pattern  i created was using a rose corner brush and the label frame is a PS shape converted into PSP using levifiction script. Carole has a Blog post about the script called Using Photoshop shapes in PSP.  I have been very happy with  the end result on my cards as i use a matte photo paper with a weight of 250gsm  to print on.

                                                              Sue, i will be experimenting with that script in my card making.

                                                              I have been playing with an idea i had some weeks ago .. i wanted to create stencils in PSP so i asked  Carole  if it could be done and she kindly gave suggestions to get me started… in  traditional card making  you buy a stencil/mask and brush ink over it to create patterns on your card stock. well i wanted to do a digital version and  here is  a couple of cards i have done using brushes and shapes to create a pattern and then turn into a stencil., on the green card i used a rose dingbat font
