I may have over-designed my version, seen in the lower of the two images below, but I wanted something bright and bold.
Mission accomplished.

Valentine's Day - Vintage Reimagined
This time I expressed my passion for vectorizing vintage images on an old Valentine.
I may have over-designed my version, seen in the lower of the two images below, but I wanted something bright and bold.
Mission accomplished.

Colorization = Fun for Tracy
All that clipping! All those paths!
But, yeah, I love the process, the HOURS it takes.
Some people play video games. Others work crossword puzzles.
Me? I pick apart a black and white image and colorize it.
Of course, I have to add my patterns to the mix.
And then make a collage out of the results in the form of a postcard-style greeting card.

Colorblast June 2015 by Design Options
I was featured this very dynamic slide show by Design Options. Use the arrow keys on your keyboard to scroll across.
It's a long story, but I actually came to Kim Designs via Design Options, a fortuitous meeting! Kim has been instrumental as my agent for making design sales for me.
Today's image is a design done recently, and likely will become part of a collection called "Parlor."
I've been busy this last week or so working on new designs for Needlepaint, which is always a lot of fun.
Oh, and I've FINALLY redone my website. It looks pretty much the same but I was able to get out from under an old and vulnerable Joomla website. Wonderful!

Bird Card
I found myself away from my own designs during the last 10 days. Fun personal stuff and working designing for someone else at a paying job took priority. I'll be seeing my designs on scrapbook paper in the near future.
I had another card approved at Greeting Card Universe. I like to think this is an honor since the process can take 10 weeks . And many, many long-timers at GCU are retroactively having cards deleted as they no longer live up to the higher and higher standards.
This artwork is different for me since I used Photoshop for to distress and layer the textures.
Illustrator is my home. I only visit Photoshop on occasion.
