This page took alot of working with hues and contrast to get exactly how I wanted it. I was so inspired by the warm autumn colours in the Archiscraps comp I knew it would be perfect for this photo of my cousinette Violet - if only I could get the blending right. I'm really happy with the results. The photo was taken by Violet's very skilled photographer Auntie. I thought Violet reminded me so much of a wood sprite or fairy that I just had to put some wings on her!

It's so wonderful Kylie. Inspired! The wings are a perfect touch. What a little sweetie Violet is.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful page and a sweet little girl! All the beautiful colors from the inspiration photo are on your layout and it's lovely!! :)
ReplyDeleteTruly beautiful work Kylie. I sometimes think paper scrappers don't fully realise just how much work creating something like this really is.
ReplyDeleteLove it Kylie! You have captured the fairy/woodland sprite idea so well. Thanks for joining us at Archiscraps.
ReplyDeleteJust wonderful Kylie..so much depth & beauty in the woodland, & your fairy is just delightful!
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining us at Archi-scraps!
WOW Kylie - that is amazing - you really have mastered the digi scrapping, maybe i'll get you to give me some lessons :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for your lovely comments. Belinda - once you get "layers" under your belt then you can use almost any photoshop type software. There are plenty of tutorials out there, that would probably do a better job than me! Jane - yes, you're right, acceptance of digi scrapping is in its infancy in the scrapbooking community, however, hopefully I'm helping a bit with that. I always start a page from scratch, I never use templates, so it does take some time to put together a page, however, if I'm happy with it at the end then I don't really mind if others don't understand the angst involved in the process. This page was particularly challenging, but I got there in the end.
ReplyDeleteHi Kylie,
