One good thing about having to color digital images, I can forget all the mess that's on my work desk behind me. Since I had a little extra time on my hands today, I decided to practice clothing folds - digitally - using Christmas Presents from our sponsor at Kerst - All Dressed Up. One thing nice about designing is that we are expected to use specific images - images that I would probably never buy - this forces me to color out of my comfort zone.
It is hard to see in the photo, buy my wings ARE actually transparent. I can see the stars from the background through my wings. By happenstance, I selected some paper for the background - I was looking for something with some pattern, but not too busy or loud. By viewing the icons on the computer, I really wasn't sure what this pattern was until I loaded it up. What a happy coincidence! Our theme is stars - and this background paper just happens to be full of stars!!!! How lucky could I get for my first choice!
I did calculate wrong when printing my image and sentiment - but was thrilled to find a solution by leaving a white border just on the sides rather than a full mat. I was planning to mat and fussy cut my image - but I liked the bold sentiment - so decided if I went with a single-layer design, I could overlap the image and sentiment and have the best of both worlds\ for this month's Kerst Christmas Challenge.
very beautiful Camille, thank you
