Photographs & Postcards – Try Tweaking!

I’ve shared my love of vintage postcards in past posts…today I want to share a bit of photograph-tweaking using an old postcard. This beautiful postcard features a Victorian angel in feathers on the front. The postmark of 1911 is still visible on the back of the card. Postcards of this age are copyright free and available to use in artwork and designs.

I usually don’t use an image in a stand alone fashion when I use copyright free art. So, I tweaked the original through Adobe Photoshop and one of my very favorite sites, PicMonkey.

I treasure my little cherub, and even better, printing her/him out does not take a lot of printer ink. I am going to use this image for some gift tags and possibly in the future for baby shower gift cards. I enjoy the thought that this artist’s work lives long past the 100+ years ago it was created. Maybe our combined efforts in this altered version will live for 100 more. Thanks for looking!

Projects – Sources for Beautiful Background Images

I want to let you in on the secret of how I created the colorful background shown above. I used this image as the background for yesterday’s quote poster. The background is a scan of the inner recesses of a small shell (less the diameter of a quarter )I found on a beach in Jamaica.

How to do it: I scanned the inside of the shell, cropped it down, saturated the colors and cropped again to a standard size. I added the lettering in my “Paint” application, and then went to PicMonkey to frame it. I chose the Drop Shadow frame for this quote poster.

Create a few posters with your own favorite quotes as desktop wallpaper, or as a note of encouragement for a friend or loved one through email or Facebook. Quote posters are also great to insert in a blog sidebar.  There are countless ways to use them. Happy quoting and creating!

Phavorites – Rapture Ready

I’ve shared this great site in previous blog posts, but as with all my “Phavorites,” it is definitely worth sharing again.

Rapture Ready

I check into this site at least once a day to read the Rapture Ready News. This section is filled with articles gathered from all over the the world. I don’t always agree with everything on the site, but it helps me keep watch, as Jesus instructs in Matthew 24:42.

“Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming.” Matthew 24:42
