Clean Slate - Creative Interpretation

For a change up, I thought it would be fun to start with a background and build up from there. So, given a clean slate....

Decoupage? Wood Burning? Brass Plate with award inscription?

Have fun!

Wonderful use of the wood's grain, Steve!

What blending mode did you use on the rain picture?

I used "soft light." Tried "overlay" but liked this version better.

Thanks.

Swampy has a great idea of posting plain bg's and /or texture. Allows for the use of images that wouldn't normally get posted.

What a fun challenge. Great job in creativity everyone.

And Family, ONLY 300 attempts. Sheesh, you are good. Seriously, that does sound all too familiar.

Here is mine.

LOL Family, I'm just joking ya' know.

A bit about the "cat". Tis a bobcat. The picture was taken from about 3-4 feet away and without fences. This cat LOVED me, so well in fact the owner had to pry him off my lap so that others could see him too. I have several more shots of him close up as well. Ever have a 75 lb. cat lounge on your lap and purr? It was an experience I'll never forget.

Peter S... I didn't know Wacom ran that ad, musta been before my time. Good catch.

FamilyTree... Well done.. Is that a cat in the left foreground?

Janet.. Great choice of subject material to add to the wood! The texture really makes it special.

Xaran...Well done. Lots of depth in your "carving".
