Cristina Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 Oh, Sue, thank you so very much! It means a lot to me. <3 ... Over the last almost five years, I found here on the Campus not only inspiration and knowledge but also good friends. 1
Minka Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 I have a fondness for the bright and bold artists ... and probably if truth be told more commercial/illustrative art. Probably not news to you! LOL Normally I would NOT have put a lino bg here, but just to show I did the assignment, it's there. The picture is an awesome one by Jack Ward from Unsplash. They have all the things there I would like - water, color, boats and sunny skies! As those photo's never show any roads, I'm not sure how they hike up and down to all those clustered homes?? Anyone been there? Do tell. Mask is there, lino is there and I did use a comic line art script on the homes. Thanks to everyone for such wonderful reading and viewing on EVERYONE'S posts. Really they have all been so awesome and diversified. Love it. 1
Mary Solaas Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 OK - Day 4 - I know I am slow. Enjoyed this session. So you can use any object as a mask. Hm. Anyway, I did choose a watercolor brush from the freebies and put the picture in the lower right corner. Played around with white and black brush strokes. Love putting a background around the picture so you get a better ides of the mask results. I have to play with picture tubes - I've restrained myself in the other days. I like putting the date in something so I chose to do it in a circle of leaves. Had fun. Masks are becoming easier and I do not have to look at the cheat cheat to remember the previous training for days 1, 2, 3. Think I will remember this process for using brushes or shapes as masks. I love seeing everyone's take - I, too, love travel - so have enjoyed the travel pages. And, yes, I do love children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and have used them in previous pages. Love seeing your pages as you focus on yours. The dress group of pages, Barbara, are really good - love the way you have showcased the dress differently in each page. Love using the old and the new relatives also. 1
Jennifer Leighton Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 I love the technique for paper today....Day 6 1
Donna Sillia Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 My Day 6 photo is of not only Thomas, but includes his big brother, Phillip. I may go back and do the Love Challenge for Phillip, too. I really wanted to make a translucent frame, but couldn't figure out how to manage it, so I just used a glow snow brush and Eye Candy Glass. I did not use monochrome for the background because I liked how the light green showed without monochrome. The small picture was framed in black with the blend mode "hard light". I used the watercolor mask technique for the larger picture. Both mom and dad can see the pictures on FB. 1
Minka Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 No wonder you love travel, MARY! That's a house on wheels! LOL I did a fair amount of that with parents -- maybe that's why I love travel so much! Will be nice when we can get back to it, huh? 1
Lynda DiGregor Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 Since I didn't use the tutorial for, Max I did this one for the tut. 1
Wanda (Sue) McGuire Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 Day 5 I gave up on adding to the mask. 1
Ann Seeber Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 I did a large travel challenge last year featuring Acapulco, Mex. but this is another photo from the original trip in 2008. I just love that beach; we'd hang out there all day with beach boys waiting on us hand and foot. I added the pelican photo-bomb! The frame reminds me of a camera lens. The "linoleum" background can be the foam on the waves or the snow at home here now! The font is Mama plus two beachy embellishments. 1
Wanda (Sue) McGuire Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 Day 6. My day 5 and 6 features my great Grand daughter at different ages 1
Mary Solaas Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 Well, Minka, the RV is Joe and Laurie's. They take me along sometimes and this time was in Alabama at a remote mountain RV park - beautiful. The stars were awesome that night and so awesome that I forgot to get my camera out to take a picture of the night sky. My travel through the lower 48 was done by car - my Blue Baby and Blue Baby 2 with nights in motels. Still fun, but the ability to "camp out" with an RV is really great. 1
Minka Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 I bet, Mary. No matter if you are the owner or a guest, you were still there and got to experience it! I can imagine the night sky was fantastic. Probably way better with the naked eye than a camera anyway! Unless you have one that is geared for night imagery. Plus, it gave you a wonderful subject to make your post about! :) 1
Annie Tobin Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 LOL! Shirl, everyone has to get old sometime and there are a few of us on the Campus that are just a little ahead of the others! Johann was a beautiful and bonnie baby ... I'll bet she even had rosy cheeks ... it was such a thing back then. I can remember mum taking us off to church and just before we went in she would spin me around and pinch my cheeks! Even though I was a little twerp I had to be a rosy cheeked one ... gosh those memories are priceless! 1
Anne Lamp Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 Love Story challenge day 6 Whew. Once I decided what to use of this one, I spent a bunch of time going back to find my butterfly pictures. It took quite a while, but that is because I kept looking at to many other pictures that I found too. All in all it made for a fun day. 1
Annie Tobin Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 Thanks dear Cristina, always appreciated. Sometimes, it just seems impossible to find the right tool and then ... voila, it falls into your lap! You gave me a giggle my friend, thank you. :) 1
Annie Tobin Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 Sue, this is a delightful page. What happy little sunflowers. I appreciate how, as a society, we have forged ahead with the use of colours. When I was an early teenager and just beginning to sew my own clothes there were certain colours that were taboo to use together ... blue and green should never be seen! I never really understood that because Mother Earth in her green finery meets Father Sky in his glorious blue. Anyway my friend, your page certainly gives lie to that old adage. ;D P.S. Thanks very much for your tip about the use of brushes for masks. I had not thought to reduce opacity and hardness etcetera. Much appreciated my friend. <3 1
Annie Tobin Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 Corrie, you have done this iconic flower proud my friend. A very sweet page, well done my friend. :D 1
Annie Tobin Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 Barbara I like you pages a lot and I find it quirky and inspirational that you have chosen a dress for the overall theme. Well done Hon for thinking outside the box. :D 1
Annie Tobin Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 Cristina, this page is so cute my friend. What an adorable photo. Simplicity at it's best Hon. 1
Annie Tobin Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 Thanks very much Laurie, very pleased you liked it my friend. I was a bit worried when I started as the photo was particularly dark but eventually I was able to tone it down. ;) 1
Annie Tobin Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 Lynda, this is a fantastic page. Black and White is one of my favourite colour combinations and the addition of a little red really makes it tick. Love it my friend and that plaid is something else! ;D 1
Annie Tobin Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 Ah! A Cinque Terre holiday ... a place I have ever wished to visit and even though Vernazza is the most popular choice for tourists my heart goes to Manarola, don't know why. A lovely and colourful page Minka, well done. ;D 1
Susan Caron Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 Such beautiful works! I am sooo behind! Very busy yesterday and most of today. I have started day 5 and hope to finish tonight. Having a hard time with the brushes as masks part...I don’t seem to have any that fit my subject. I’ll have to look for some. 1
Gerry Landreth Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 Brelan, 12.75-years old, is the oldest of my great-nieces/nephews. The countdown to a full-fledged teenager is well underway. Font: Aclonica. Smile doodle: Pixelscrapper - Janet Kemp. Frame: Pixelscrapper - Jessica Dunn. Mask: Pixescrapper - Melo Carole: The distortion technique is cool. I'm trying to figure out how one "accidentally" discovers such a thing, but I guess that is why it is an accident. A happy one. As always, it is a pleasure to scroll through the posts to admire the projects, enjoy the stories, and learn from the questions. 1
Annie Tobin Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 Day 6. Lots of different fonts used here and I have lost track of them ... sorry! The words are all the things that a white rose stands for. Photo courtesy of Unsplash. Thanks for takin a peek my friends. ;D 1
