Cock Robin PNG fun

The Graphics Fairy shared some info on digi stamps yesterday. After reading her follower's responses I decided to try creating a brush in photoshop. I have used brushes created by other people, but never made my own. I used an image from the vintage storybook "Who Killed Cock Robin?". I have shared some images from this book in the past. I used Illustrator to get a good outline of the image, then used Photoshop to remove the white and save the image as a PNG and created my brush. Here is the PNG if any of you are interested in using it:

If you don't know the story of Cock Robin, it is about his wedding to Jenny Wren. This is Robin Redbreast in his wedding finery. I think he is adorable. If you do find a use for him, I would love to see where he ends up.

A bird in the hand...

...is worth 2 in the (rose) bush. The theme at Theme Thursday is hands. Here is my interpretation:

The beautiful dove card and the bird (in the hand) are images from The Graphics Fairy and the hand is from my own postcard collection.

Grow old with me

The Three Muses challenge this week is: relationships. Here is my entry:

Both images are from Antique Images.

The magic of Tag Tuesday

Tag Tuesday is celebrating 1 year (52 weeks)!! Here is my tag celebrating the magic of Tag Tuesday.

Background is from Itkupilli, the little girl is from Marie's Freebies, the hat, rabbit, and bike are from The Graphics Fairy.

A quote from Rabindranath Tagore

It is time for Theme Thursday. Today's theme: butterflies or butterfly wings. I went online searching for inspiration and came across a quote by Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941). Never heard of him? Me neither. So more online searching, and I found out he was a Bengali poet, playwright, novelist, and musician. He was the first non-European to win a Nobel Prize for Literature. His words "The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough" were so perfect for today's challenge.

Nice Stems

Legs is the theme for The Three Muses challenge. Here is my "leggy" contribution.

The background is from Itkupilli. The flower is from a collage sheet you can pick up here on my blog.

flowers for you

It has been awhile since I offered images for you to use in your own projects. I am always so greatful to all the wonderful sites willing to share their images with the public. Here is an image from my own postcard collection circa 1907-1908:

I removed the background and cleaned up the flowers. I also applied a faceted pixelated filter using Photoshop. Here is a collage sheet of the individual flowers:

I included leaves and a stem. Here is a frame I created using a couple of the images:

I also put together this bouquet while I was playing around in photoshop:

I hope you will find a use (or two) for some of these images. Please remember to click on the image first so you can save the original, larger size to your computer. These images are all in PNG format. I would love to see any work using these images. Also, if you notice any quality issues or have suggestions to make the images more usable, please let me know. Comments are always appreciated.
