| EKDuncan "Old World Charm" digital embellishments sheet |
I hope you are following along with my posts about the digital scrapbooking items I created in Photoshop which I have named my "Old World Charm" digital collection.
So far I have posted several digital scrapbook page layouts showing how I used some of the supplies I've created and now I'm in the process of posting those digital items for easy viewing and access. So check out my other May 2011 postings in case you have missed any of the fun stuff that is part of the "Old World Charm" collection.
Today I'd like to share the additional embellishments I created to coordinate with the other "Old World Charm" items you have seen on my previous posts.
Here are the items individually

| Image of a compass rose that I used in my collection I altered it in Photoshop to suite my needs in this collection Part of the background is transparent and part is white since this worked best in the way I needed to use the image This way I don't loose some of the important images on the compass when I place it on a busy background and then I can add a color overlay on top to change the white areas to any color I need |
 |

 |

You probably noticed that many of the frames in my collection have a similar look; this is because I like to alter frames in Photoshop so they coordinate well. Changing a round frame to an oval for instance gives me a greater amount of diversity in being able to frame and image or photo on a digital layout and having it work regardless if the image is taller or wider than the original frame would have allowed for. I also like to change the colors of frames since I might need a silver one instead of gold or a funky finish to blend with a page I'm working on. The possibilities of what can be done with a frame are endless thanks to Photoshop and other digital tools that are available.

Thank you so much for posting these. I'm in the process of "thinking through" a digital scrapbook for my daughter for when she gets older. Your artwork is wonderful and thank you for sharing it. I'm new to all this so it's helped me a lot. God bless you.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you will be able to use some of the artwork for your own digital scrapping. I love browsing the web to see what's out there for me to use and am glad I was able to give something back with my creation of this series.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy it,
Evelyn

I really like these and would love to use some for a friends christmas card, but am not sure how to download them. Could you please help me? I would like to do it really soon, like today! :)
ReplyDeleteHey bjklassen - I'm sure you will create a fun and exciting card for your friend. The images need to be downloaded one at a time for you to get the best quality.
DeleteFirst select an image you want by placing your mouse over an image and click using the left mouse button. This will cause the image to pop up in another screen at top resolution. (tip - Don't try and download "right click" an image straight off the blog pages themselves or you will be saving a low quality/resolution preview image.)
Now once you are in the new screen that shows the full view of the image you want, move your mouse cursor on it and right click - using the right mouse button and select "Save image As" from the menu selection that pops up. Save the image on your computer in a folded or place where you can find it again later - wink.
Then select the next image you want via the choice selection bar you see at the bottom of the screen. Left mouse click to bring up the image full screen on your computer, place the mouse cursor over that image "right" button mouse click and save to your computer...
Hope this helps and have fun downloading and using the images for your crafting projects.
Enjoy!
Evelyn
