Theme:Holiday Abstract

[denise ippolito]

I did this Holiday look using my lighting technique and the Brush pre-sets that I gave the link to at the top of the page in the upcoming theme sticky "Design Your Holiday Cards" This morning I downloaded the brush pre-sets both the Holiday and the snowflake and just had some fun w/ them. I encourage you all to experiment w/ them as they can add alot to your Holiday cards. I hope to inspire you to give them a try.:) I may have gone a bit overboard-but it was just for fun and I wanted to try an assortment of brushes out. I actually gave myself a cool idea that I will work on and hopefully can post soon.:D I almost forgot-the background is one of my leaf blur shots.

Interesting effects, Denise.

Like the feel of it. :cool: You can keep the cold part however! :eek: I've been there and done that! ;) :D

Very nice image...like it all...not sure about the big snowflake in the middle, maybe too centred or to big...God Christmas already...cccccold coming...balmy 23 degrees tomorrow

Thanks Mark and Paul. I appreciate the comments. Paul-I agree the center flake could be smaller.Hope you guys download the brushes they are a ton of fun to mess with.

like this a lot......would like to see the emboss/light applied to the frost
only and leave the view through the window normal, just an idea.

Will have to look at the brushes, don't ever use them often except for some textures

Thanks everyone and thankyou all for the feedback.

Denise,

I like the color, balance and feel of this one. Not sure if I would reduce the center flake.
Thanks for sharing...

Fun stuff! I have also downloaded a bunch of freebie PS holiday brushes and shapes. Hopefully I'll find enough time to play with them. The icicles are very cool - lame pun intended.

[denise ippolito]

Very good pun!! I love all the brushes and have even downloaded some of the holiday ornaments-Fun stuff and I can't wait to see some of the cards!!
