Very lovely, Patricia! Remember, even Phyllis S. has posted in the past that she had trouble learning how to use Painter. Your time has obviously been well spent.

thanks, palms, patricia

yes, things are slowly returning. i've even managed to recover one drive that i had to remove before!

[Swampy]

You guys have been having too much fun! :-)

Thanks for the photo, Palms! I thought I would do a product display.

Smudged a selection of one of the hyacinths and added a background of a field in the Netherlands. I felt the white flowers that were on the left of the background photo were too stark so I added a color layer to put some pink tint back in the flowers.

Beefed up the sky with HSL and added the text.

A slight outer glow to the pull out flower and a border to finish it off.

dee dee,

you definitely have the 'travel brochure' thing down pat

had another go at this... too many steps and too convoluted and just plain lost track to recall all the steps.

[Swampy]

Thanks, Craig. Post cards from the swampy... or, in this case, the Netherlands. LOL

I really like the "jiggle" or "glass" effect in yours, Craig. Great touch.

[Janet Petty]

Swampy and Craig, such different takes on the same subject and both of them are so very well done.

(Just sign me too busy to paint but not to look, learn, and enjoy.)

[Swampy]

thank you, Janet
