Christmas Glow


Girl extracted from - http://magikstock.deviantart.com/art/illuminated-2-270556686

Background - I made the background from three different photos I took at Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania this past Thursday.

The staircase was in a decorated house display 
The Christmas tree was one of many decorated by children
The poinsettias were from an outside display


I also used two textures from my collection and lots of masking and blending modes. 

A friend suggest I make some Christmas images - I much prefer Halloween!!!!!

Outside Inside # 7

Girls extracted from a vintage photo

Keys, flowers, rose - Deviantscrap - http://mischiefcircus.com



Bird - my collection

Textures - I used three - purchased from DesignCuts - http://www.designcuts.com 


This is the latest image in my series Outside/Inside - using exterior and interior backgrounds and vintage extracts. I want them to look like they were actual photos. I am going to reuse a lot of the elements in each image - I want to tie them together by subject, repeated objects and vintage coloring.
