Birthday Card for my Sister-In-Law

I drew the image and colored it in with paint pens and markers, then I scanned it and added a watercolor filter in Photoshop.  I printed it on photo paper, then on acetate.  I cut the background out from the photo paper and mounted it to the acetate. I cut out a square in the card, mounted the image, and added the patterned paper to the inside of the card.  The inside sentiment is hidden behind the bird.  

This is a scan of a painting I made for my step-daughter.  I gave it to her last night for a Christmas gift.  I could not fit the whole canvas on the scanner, but you can see part of the black border.

Here's another Photoshop creation.

Photoshop Creation

I was searching the internet this morning for some good images of eggs for a project I'm thinking about and I found this great photo of a Robin's nest and turned it into a brush in Photoshop.  I added some details, as you can see, and now I have a completed image.  This could be a good element to my creation, or in the very least, just some fun that I had with Photoshop.  If you're an artist and don't have this program, you just don't know what you're missing!  There are endless possibilities with Photoshop, and with all of the playing I've done, I'm sure I still haven't discovered all of the fun things about this program.  If you don't know how to create your own brushes, please leave me a message and I will tell you how to do it - don't worry, it's really simple!
