DSC Animal or Pet?

Hi Everyone, my DT post today  -

It's time for the Monthly challenge at

 Digitally Sweet Challenges #156

We have no sponsor this month it is purely for fun.

The theme is
Animal or Pet
100% digital
I would love you to have a go and hope to see you there.

I decided to go with our wonderful dog, that had been our life for ten and a half years.
 I only have 2 digital photos of her and would have to go searching amongst
 too many to do this post, but she deserved to be featured in a post all of her own.
I used a template for the layout by Indigo Designs
Dog treat paper, dog treat bowl, paw heart all by Hugware
designs no longer available.
tennis ball by Gina Cabrera
This was quite a simple page, as I wanted Jess centre stage.

Follow Your Dreams

It's time for the Monthly challenge at

the Theme is 

TRAVEL

sponsored by the fabulous

All Dressed Up Stamps

This is my DT contribution, the image is named as "Follow Your Dreams" which I thought as a great quote for the title of my layout. This was a simple layout, no real changes to anything, apart from colouring this beautiful image, a few shadows and a PS dissolve filter for the cloud background, I added an inner shadow and an outer glow to the text. I loved playing with this image and in my imagination I am flying away in colour and, if I could remember my dreams, to where they go LOL.

This will make a great congratulations for a graduate, job or moving card when printed out.

Go see what my Team mates have for you with these awesome stamps from All Dressed Up stamps. Have a try at 100% digi yourself, see how easy it is and enter our Travel challenge.

Fantasy

The DT were given images to play with and we have had the most wonderful images. These were a real joy to colour digitally and produce pages that I am absolutely thrilled with. 

To colour Dark Fae I used the brush tool and the mixer tool in PS I am thrilled with the skin this time, as I have trouble with skin colouring. Once I had coloured her and I don't know how these colours came to be, I had to find something that would enhance this fab image I went searching in my files and came across this beautiful page. I thought she needed a castle and luckily found I had one, a bit of blending mode and it was blended into the background. The sentiment was found on the web and I decided to add a book to match the sentiment.

Sentiment - web

I decided to colour 2 extra as I loved them so much. 

The Stardust fantasy fairy I added to a background by sweetbananadreams at Deviant Art, which I made smaller to make the fairy look larger, I coloured her in PS and added a sentiment and a few blending options to add light and PS brushes for fairy dust.

The "silvertrace dragon baby in egg" was also coloured in PS, he had to be a red dragon, after all I'm Welsh LOL the background is gradient effect clouds, I used grass PS brushes.

Anything Goes with a Sketch

sponsored by   Scrappiness Designs

I've decided to go with a scrapbook page today, with elements and paper from the Make Me Smile kit from Scrappiness Designs  it's such a feminine kit, the sketch is by our own DT member  Denise Pustelniak  I added the elements from the kit as per the sketch, added shadows to each and did a little "erasing" to the ribbon so it looked like the twine was around it. The picture in the middle was taken in the garden during a particularly hard frost. The butterfly element on the tag was "played" with until I thought it looked like it was woven into the tag. All done in PS.
