Blended and Textured design

I found a couple of the background blended papers that I had done with the help of Doug Landreth's  texture, and the techniques learned in his class last week, so Photoshop didn't eat the lot of them up after all.  These are more like my own, older style, but not as grungy.   I'd like to get some images and play more with texture and Photoshop.

Blended Designs

These are two backgrounds that were basically the base
 of those below.  These were made in Photoshop
with brushes - mostly my own, a few other overlays,
gradients, and flowers that I drew with the
pen tool - all done in Photoshop.
I need to stop blending and making backgrounds
since my EHD's are filling up too quickly!

Warning - you might need sunglasses for

some of these!

Playing with the blends in Photoshop gets to be addictive

and somewhat dangerous to all those pixels that are mixed

together. There's a lot of patience needed and heaps of

repair work with so many layers placed in the

blender - but I love doing it!
