to use Microsoft WORD WASHOUT Feature to lighten up an image - then color - with markers.
I did 2 trees using the technique - the other tree is fuller and will be posted in November to enter the Beccy's Monthly Christmas Card challenge.
I am not much of an artist - but I did enjoy experimenting.
Thanks for stopping by - Gail

ReplyDeleteI think this is great. Can't wait to see what you make for the November challenge.
ReplyDeleteWonderful creation. Must try the washout technique! Thank you for playing along with us at Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty Christmas card Gail. I love that Christmas tree, it is so cute! So is it a digi stamp or clip art? What a cool technique you used too. I love how your tree turned out. Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteBeccy's Images are digital stamps - she also sells clear stamps - thanks for stopping by!
DeleteYou've done an awesome job using the washout feature Gail, well done! I love the multiple layers you added behind the image, the colours mix well together. The little red rhinestones are a nice festive touch too!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
