Summer days

Summer means gold and orange and red and green and blue, the colors of the impressionists, of Manet painting poppies and his artist garden.

I'm not a big fan of impressionists but I love lazy summer days and fresh nights in a country house. So I created this scrapbook page from a rustic frame, some flowers and butterflies, and an eagle flaying over the wheat field.

If you only want  the page on png, click to enlarge the image and save it. If you want to get all the elements of the image as well as the png file use the download link.

P.S. I want to thank Granny for her wonderful elements she share on her blog, I used her tree and eagle.

Really chic frames

I would like to have these in my house, but unfortunately I'm not a carpenter to manufacture them. The only shabby frame I have is one from my gran

dmother and the paint on the wood is almost gone. It inspired me to create these frames in photoshop for the shabby chic lovers. I took some old painted wood, I desaturated it and adjusted the colors with PS colors balance. After I found the right nuance, I used some frame corner brushes, frames shapes and floral elements and I applied them on the wood. Th aged effect came out playing with Blending mode.

The pastel colors and the floral touch

make these frames looking really shabby chic. Sometimes, this style when is rich ornate looks too cute for me, so I've tried too keep some simplicity.

As usual you ca download the frame bellow by clicking on the image and save it on your desktop. It is 800x800 pxls. A higher image resolution in the pack.

Please download the pack from this link, you help me to buy my coffee :)

More frames for Photoshop

I like old staff, shabby chic, grunge textures, vintage touch, scrapbooks etc., bref I'm a nostalgic lady.

So I created some grunge frames and Easter ones that I would like to share with you. It is fun to transform your colorful photo, make it looking old and put it in a grunge, vintage frame. The result: a kind of victorian photography.

If you have Photoshop, you can easy obtain a sepia effect editing the image. I used a Nicole Kidman image that I have desaturated it and played with color balance, levels and luminosity.

You can obtain the same sepia color in other way:

• Go to Image/Mode and select gray scale.
• Again Image/Mode and select Duotone.
• You need to pick two different inks. Ink 1 will be EB8B23. Just click on the little color square and enter the number via the Color Picker.
• You must name your Inks so name this one SEPIA 1 (or whatever you wish).
• Repeat this for Ink 2.
• You may find that the Custom Color box that appears is set to Pantone. Simply click on the Picker Button on the right side and you'll get your original color picker.
• Enter 000000 for the black we want and SEPIA 2 for the name. Finish this step by clicking OK. Then go back to RGB mode now.
• Choose Image, Mode,RGB Color.
• Next you can choose Image, Adjustments, Hue/Saturation and play with the saturation levels to make the effect more subtle.Here are the frames in png format.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

Easter is coming so i made a special card or frame. It is on transparent background, free and ready to use

New Valentine freebies

My treat for this week - two cute Valentine frames textures. They are made especially for the Second Life residents, but they can be also used for blogs or web pages.

Browsing SL Marketplace, I saw that aren't many beautiful, elaborated frames textures for Valentines and only few are worth their money. So I created these frame textures as a gift for all my customers and visitors who are in love somewhere in Second Life or Real Life. If they are not yet, I'll hope they will be,

The textures can be used also as wedding frames, and people in SL love to marry and, well, to divorce.

Does not cost much and it is fun. But always love is in the air. The frames are on transparent background. Click on the image and save it. Enjoy! Check also my free Vintage Valentine and Gothic Valentine cards in my previous posts, and my Marketplace textures store for more frames.
