Can you believe it's March already! - Only 19 days left until the 1st Day of Spring! (
and my birthday).
Right now though it's time to head on over to Pixel Dust Photo Art for this weeks
Photo Art Friday. This weeks optional theme was, "Vintage."
I have 2 pieces to share with you today.
I started with this photo:
I first went to
Befunky.com and used the watercolor feature there. Then I went back to PicMonkey and added Bonnie's texture: Blue Missive to the photo. I believe I used Hardlight at 100%. Then I used the Daguerreotype feature (Plumbe) and came up with the piece below. It reminds me of an antique French Postcard.
Next I chose this photo of our city park's Gazebo:
For this piece I cropped the photo. Added Bonnie's textures: Virtually Vintage and Creative canvas. I added a Sketched frame and a Museum Matte frame to the piece as well.
Below is the result:
Don't forget to stop by Bonnie's blog and check out the other particpants art work.
Have a great weekend.
Great processing, Ida! I really love the second one - looks just like a vintage postcard.

I love the vintage look on the gazebo. Wonderful. Valerie
ReplyDeleteBoth images are wonderful, but that first one is really something special! Love the depth of texture and partial abstraction that you achieved.
ReplyDeleteI love the processing technique you used. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic edit on those grapes! And thanks for BeFunky--can't wait to try it!
ReplyDeleteThese are very pretty!
ReplyDeleteIda, I love how the grapes turned out! Great processing!
ReplyDeleteoutstanding, Ida!! you are so inventive and you play those various programs with brilliance!!
ReplyDeletereally love the gazebo BEcause it reminded me of summer band concerts from a way very long time ago!!
Fun edits on your pics this week, Ida!!
ReplyDeleteIt is so interesting - you managed to create these delightful compositions using on-line software - you rock, kiddo!
ReplyDeletethe last picture is perfect!
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job! They both have this lovely vintage look.
ReplyDeleteLook how the shadows POP off the vintage photos.....I love both of your pieces! Thanks for letting us know how you did it, too.
ReplyDeleteCOME ON SPRING!
Love both images.
ReplyDeleteYour editing really has turned each image into a piece of vintage art. I love that you describe the grapes as a vintage French postcard--so right on. The bandstand photo seems like it could have been taken in the late 1800s or early 1900s. I'd say you nailed this assignment!
ReplyDeleteLove your processing Ida and the grapes do look very French.. Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a lovely comment..
ReplyDeletebeautiful change :)
ReplyDeleteWow! I love these, especially the first one! Very vintage feel to it. I've not heard of Befunky, I'll be checking them out. I haven't done a lot of post-processing, but I think it's fascinating! Congrats on your new camera, I've had mine for almost two years and still have a lot to learn! Thank you for you kind comments on my blog!
ReplyDeleteHi Ida...love them both. I do agree with the grapes, it does remind me of a French post card, well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting and for your kind words.
Capture Life,
Kathy
I especially like the second one..it looks like it could be from an old plantation scene in a movie!
ReplyDeleteThat Gazebo looks terrific! I need to go back and do a real vintage image. I just could not make myself take the color out of my image. Maybe just maybe I can try again. Thanks so much for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteLove your processing on these Ida, and love your spring header too, gorgeous, I can't wait to see some blossom :)
