Recreating Painterly and Blended Background Photo [with video]

Hey everyone! I thought I would do a quick post on how I did the photo blending on my background on this page with the November 2016 awesome M3. A lot of this was learned from Jana and the November 2016 Champions at Scrapaneers (which featured an awesome kit of Lynn's!).First off you are going to need a smart phone, or know how to recreate your own pencil like sketching in your photo editing software. I used the Prisma App for both of my photos editing but for this little tutorial, I am going to focus on the blended background photo.Open your photo in Prisma and you will find all kinds of fun filters to create painting/drawing effects on your photos. These change regularly! So if there is one that you like edit a bunch of photos with it and save them because it might not be there long!For my photo I ran the #GettUrban filter.

Going Hybrid on a budget!

Hello!!!!! Cynthia (MrsPeel) here. I hope everyone is well and enjoying the weekend!!!! I am really, really excited right now as I am going to share with you something I made, and guess what? It is not entirely digital!!!!! I know many of you have been hearing me say how much I admire the hybrid artists, how much I love how things look on paper….but how much I fear the lack of the "undo" button.I have been starting and quitting, starting and quitting… sound familiar? I know a few of you shared my habit of throwing half done paper stuff in the garbage. We would say in "the bin" here in England, but if you look at my use of the word "awesome" you will know I'm North Americanized a LOT! LOL So, bear with me, I know, I talk a lot too & I wonder of subject… age is showing!!! OK, back to what matters.I kept starting and quitting and then I realized the reason for my frustration: I will … [Read more...]

Mixed Media Monthly | Dream, Daring, Ideas

Chances are... you daydream from time to time. Or you come up with great (and maybe some not-so-great) ideas.

Wow.Take a look at the imaginative kit that may help you unlock some of those dreams and ideas, and get them out onto a page.  And of course, each … [Read more...]

How Do You Doodle?

Hello! Hello!  If you happened to visit the blog yesterday you read a little information about the incredible selection of doodles available at The Lilypad. Still, some of you might be wondering what to do.  Hopefully this will help solve the mystery of doodles and help you incorporate them into your next creation. There are a number of ways to use doodles other than just straight out of the kit. Adding color to doodles will completely change the look. This allows you to customize the object to fit your project. There are different ways to add color to a doodle. A few examples are: flood fill a doodle with any color from the color palette; use the gradient tool to add a variety of color; or clip paper to add both color and texture.Word art in the example above is from Science Lab element pack by One Little Bird.Layer them.
