Then any number of little things happen to set me off on a related but different path....like I probably saw some art I liked different from mine, or certain colors I liked.
And also there is the dreaded activity of scanning and lightening up the art I did for the alphabet kids so I can make it into a book. I hate that part, especially since I got a newer version of photoshop when I got my Mac so now I really have to start from scratch as far as knowing what I am doing.
So, from a combination of procrastination, and new inspiration I started on Valentines cards.... lighter, hopefully softer and looser looking .....
And these four cards, have led me on to a whole new direction that I will show later. Hopefully once I tackle photoshop I will get these printed as cards and in my Etsy shop!
Happy paint party Friday!
Oh good luck with Photoshop ... I downloaded a new version a while back only to discover I had the wrong version that had fewer options, ugh. It has forced me to be more creative on my own, but it is frustrating when I can't do what I want to do. I will correct this one of these days, but now there doesn't seem to be time or the inclination. I love your cards ... I hope you do get them done in time for Valentine Day (including shipping time). I will be looking for them ...

DeleteThese are adorable. Good luck on your new Photoshop . . . I hate it when I have already mastered something and things change to make me have to relearn. Have you noticed that "new and improved" is usually not a good thing?
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!
Connie :)
Yes, improvements don't always seem like improvements!
Deletesweet cards Andrea! Good luck with your new program. Happy PPF!

ReplyDeleteunless its Photoshop elemants you had, the newer versions are not that different and there are a lot of tutorials online if you get stuck :) the scanning tho, is def a pain :/
Well I settled down and did it, turns out I had no trouble scanning and even photoshop went pretty easily considering past tries!
Deleteyou make the cutest figures, I love them! They'll make great cards.

DeleteThe Valentine cards are AMAZING! So sweet and magical. :) And CHEERS to new directions and ideas. . . may they never end! :) I hope your Mac is treating you well. I think you will be quite happy you made the switch in the long run.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! And yes, I am happy I switched, I was just putting off learning new things but I am slowly catching on,I just keep googling how to this or that small step!
