The Artist's Playroom Challenge-Rainbow

Jenn challenged us to make an image with rainbow colors.  I decided to construct a rainbow with seven layers for each color.  Once I made the design, I wanted to spread it out in an arch, like a rainbow.  Little did I know that Photoshop Elements doesn't have an easy way to draw a curved line.  I researched it and did a lot of trial and error.  When I finished, I felt like I hadn't created any great masterpiece.  I had, however, given myself some fun and a challenge.  Overall, the fun won out.  I guess my inner child got to play on the computer.  Thank you Jenn, for encouraging fun and experimentation in art.

Collage Obsession-Illuminated Letters Challenge



The challenge this week at Collage Obsessions was to create an image with the letter "F."  I experimented with layers and patterns in Photoshop Elements and came up with this.

We're having a fun swap over at Inspiration Avenue! If you want some fun postcard backs for your designer postcards, check out Scrappin' Cop.  (You can link through the button at the bottom of my blog.)  There is a freebie there for a whole sheet of backsides of postcards.    I'll be stepping away from being all digital with this swap and I'm really looking forward to it.  Click on the button that says, "P.S." for more info.

Inspiration Avenue Challenge-Poetry

I put together this digital collage as my entry for the Inspiration Avenue Challenge this week.  Since April is Poetry Month, Diane challenged us to use a poem in our artwork.   I selected the first two stanzas of a poem about one of my favorite spring flowers.
