The Sunday Creative - Word prompt: Nothing

Wow this word prompt threw me for a while as it's so....open! So I searched for a quote I liked first and took it from there!

I also remembered something I'd discovered by accident...if I add a stroke to the outer edge of a page and then add gaussian blur to it, I can get a soft, grungy feel instead of a hard frame-type edge!! LOVE THAT!!! LOL!!!

TFL!

Hummie's World, Filters Challenge, Class 4 - Diffuse Glow

What a difference a filter can make, eh?!!!! LOVED playing with this filter! Top is the original photo, and after a good play, and with 3 layers of the photo with a pink, white and then dark grey diffuse glow applied, then changed blending modes and opacities, my finished page!
I'm loving this Filters Challenge course...am always itching to see what the next one will be, LOL!!

LSNED - Day 11 - Saturday

I ttok this photo on one of our first trips out with my new DSLR...the kids are experts at taking SPs with their little caleras, so thought I'd have a go while I was waiting for them to return from their cliff-top walk! out of many many shots, I got one I could bear to look at, LOL! So thought I'd use it for Saturday's prompt, as I had a hair appt. I was so pleased with the cut, that I wanted to do a page about it, LOL!!

The Sunday Creative - Timeworn

This week's word was Timeworn. I had ideas of setting up a little scene for a photo, using the dried lavendar I have in my kitchen, but time got away from me - again! So I used a photo of some dead heads of flowers to represent this word!

Hummie's World Course 2, Lesson 33 - Photo Blending

I've never had the patience before to sit and do this slowly enough to really consider the shape and effect I was making...this time I did and I LOVED doing this!!

This was actually a cropped down photo of the waved breaking..I purposely made it long and thin...then blended it in to the paper. The white kinda splashy stuff at the 'back' is actually an element from the kit changed to screen mode, and then with opacity reduced and a bit or erasing going on to blend the photo and the element together seamlessly.

I love the effect, as it has gone from looking like a blended photo, to looking more like a sketch!

Hummie's World, Filters Class, Lesson 3 - Colour Halftone

Same photo, same filter, just 2 ways of doing it! The top one of for my book of these lessons' LOs and is 6x4. It was created using the shape tool. The bottom was just for fun really and used the brush tool. Love the different effect, but I need way more time for playing with this as I feel I've only scratched the surface of what's possible!

Hummie's World, Course 2, Lesson 32 - background colour

Wanted to make Meg another LO, as requested, LOL, but needed to catch up with my classes,so came up with this! Making the perfect background colour from the photo, and also finding the inverse colour on the coluor wheel..hence the brown! Loved the effect this gave, using a colour I'd not nec have put on the page!
