beyond day 8

chalkboard art

beyond day 7

two different versions of kim's ace hotel chairs photo.
first one edited in lightroom only... second i added and tweaked the poster edge filter in pse

beyond day 2

the first thing i thought when i saw this picture kim supplied for today's challenge
was a stone sculpture... so i went with it.
i added kk_zanthe scripted and kk_abstract.
than into radlabs to get a more black/white feel
the font used is 'before the rain'

and the quote reads:
"the best artist has that thought alone which is contained within the marble shell;
the sculptor's hand can only break the spell to free the figures slumbering in the stone"
michelangelo

beyond layers week 50 - cuppa challenge

another new addition to my 'I cant get enough' list
used kk chaos and kk calamity textures and a few doodle fonts to add cup and hearts

beyond layers week 49 - desktop wallpaper challenge

i tend to like my wallpaper showing simple reminders and colors or blends that are easy on the eyes.
for this one i blended kim's textures kk_0101 and kk_3112 for the background
and the quote font is old stamper.

pondering the new year... full of things that have never been.

Happy 2013

beyond layers week 48 - another photo challenge

Merry Christmas!

beyond layers week 47 - holiday sampler

i started off using the teastained texture kim provided and
wasn't happy with the way my holiday sampler was evolving.
so instead the alphabet part of kim's sample got me thinking
of a bookmark.  i used a paint splatter brush and added the
alphabet on top using a font called stencil brush.
ran it through rad labs a few times and came up with these
two bookmark samples.
i haven't tried this yet, but thinking they could be printed
on heavier weight paper... maybe glued on cardboard
and ribbon or tassel added to top...  so many possibilities
maybe little stocking suffers for the readers on my list.

beyond layers week 44 - your take

edited Kim's photo using texture 'Linda' and added the quote...
