Looking at the two photos you posted, you could create your own masks on some of the birds and use them in a greeting card, using a similar background so they blend in well. If it would be easier than extracting, as not everything is east to extract. Both of these Jays were masked and I created a background where they would blend in nicely, or play around with the blend modes. You could even use a selection of the background to create an autumnal feel, even place a branch or a log where their are feet are on the feeder. There are so many options.
And another one! I wrote merry Xmas and a Happy new year in Welsh, using the Welsh national colours. I used fonts to embellish the frame around the photo, retaining the photo within those fonts. And brushes on the out frame. It waas a cold frosty morning, after the blizzard.
Ann, Carole’s punches are brushes, and you’ll find them in the store, like all brushes, you can either add a brush using a colour, or use the eraser tool. Although Reindeer is correct for plural, it is also accepted if you add an s. I added an s to be in keeping with penguins and polar bears. here is a link to Carole’s brushes in the store. https://creationcassel.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=12
Here’s another one.
I’ve made a start on creating this year’s Xmas ecards. All my own work, including the photo. The corner holly swirl is a brush, the line is done suing the pen tool. One of Carole’s Xmas brush punches on the card.

Thank you Ann for you complimentary comment on the ecard. Using PSP, you can create the blurred background, also you can easily extract subjects and place them on a better background. Carole has tutorials on doing all of these.
Thank you Karon, you are always so complimentary with your comments, and I really do appreciate it. I don’t think you’d want to switch places with me at this time of year. Although the snow scenes here are stunningly beautiful, the temps drop to 30 below and colder with the wind chill.
Carole, I don ‘t know if it’s just my imagination, but do believe the campus has found a higher gear. A little faster. 🙂
All the snow and snow banks have been cleared, until the next snow fall. Feeling in the festive mood, I wanted to use this photo in a Xmas card. I opted for an ecard, created the envelope and card, background paper, using snow brushes, and the brush variance palette. The corners are from somewhere, I can’t remember where. I duplicated the corner, mirrored, merged down, duplicated and then flipped, I used the pen tool to create the lines in between the corners.
Ann, Wales is steeped in History. Fictional and factual. To this day the Welsh still don’t like the English, we don’t mind loosing to the Irish or the Scots, or any other team comes to that, when it comes to rugby, but when it comes to the English, we’d rather see the other teams win.
Ann, I failed to post all three photos, so here is the last one. Buffalo.
Anne I failed to post the photos with the message, here goes again! Sue.
Carole, I failed to post 3 photos under 600 pixels, an error came up, unable to establish a connection. I’m only notifying you to keep you up to date with the campus. You probably know anyway.
Michele a good campus friend of mine lives in New York, like you she is 2 hours ahead of me. The Prairie Wilderness, where once 10s of millions of buffalo roamed, now, as far as the eye can see the vast grasslands are now down to crops. Saskatchewan is a vast province, my home land is Wales UK, where you can place 3 UK’s quite comfortably into Saskatchewan with room to spare. My equestrian disciplined changed when we moved here from one day eventing, show jumping and dressage to trailing cows across the land for big ranchers. Over the years horses have been replaced by quads, and big trucks to transport cattle. If you are prepared as I am to get out, there is an abundance of wildlife. I love wildlife, and PSP helps to edit my photos, and showcase them, from the Moose that come into our treed area on the farm, to macro shots of the smallest of insects. Buffalo photo is an older shot, the cow and calf Moose visited me on Friday, they come and go as they please as do the Antelope, and other creatures great and small. I have yet to showcase the Moose.
Using colours from the photo, I was pleased with the outcome, as I love earth tone colours. Created a simple frame, word art, with a little splash of autumnal colour. For the border on the right, I selected a portion of the frame with the selection tool, promoted to a new layer. It’s going to be a busy day moving snow with the tractor, as we had quite the blizzard yesterday. In case we need to get out. The roads are closed, and I’ve heard that it’s going to take 72 hrs to clear the streets of the city of Saskatoon.
Karon, thank you ever do much for your kind, complimentary, positive words on my pages. You diligently read every post and comment.
Liberia, thank you so much. You certainly do have good taste!
A photo I took back in the summer of 2018. I did a simple 3 tier frame then. This is what I created with that same photo today. I took a portion of the photo, duplicated, mirrored, merged, duplicated, flipped, merged, copied and paste into selection for the frame, blur etc. I then used that same image I created from the selection and used the kaleidoscope, silly me didn’t keep the settings, as it took countless random clicks to find the background paper I used, which I liked. I could go to the history I suppose. Carole’s corner punches, and a little word art. Caroles, fancy lace font edge.
This is also from the other night. Sask Native Aster. Masked the flower image, and then framed it. My posts are now up to date. Lovely to have you back Carole, technology is wonderful, until it goes wrong. I can’t even start to imagine how frustrated you must have been. Thank you for all that you for us.
I couldn’t delete this page from the October showroom, created this page night before last. Blue Jay , autumnal colours. Framed with word art.
Another one for the drinks challenge. Word art, extracted 2 flower to add to the page, and a masked photo of milky coffee and a ginger nut biscuit.
Sorting through my macro shots, a fun page, created the word art, using the pen tool, mesh warp tool.
Drinks Challenge. Blended a photo of the bottle either side of an apple photo, also used the colours from the colour challenge.
This is the background paper, using colours from the photos, to resemble crushed, broken autumnal fallen leaves.
No comments required, I’m reposting what I created and previously posted for November. Doing them myself, to save Carole time. Beautiful Mess masterclass, used the paper I created, in frames and the background paper. I enjoy doing word Art, to showcase my photos.
You did say, and I thank you for the kind comment Cristina. After a beautiful week with the temp in the high teens, even 21c, this morning everywhere is white and still snowing. This is another one I did the other night. Sask Native Aster.
Word art and frame, no two pages are ever the same Blue Jay and Autumnal colours.
I placed this post in the wrong section, and couldn’t delete it from the calendar challenge page. Playing with vectors and fonts. Mesh warp tool, pen tool.
