8th day of textures from kim

i just love it when all comes together so well (serendipity, actually…) – this morning we had sunny weather and a bit snow (after some aweful windy days). having monday my day off from school, i took the camera to make a little morning walk. this weathercock was the first picture i shot… ha, perfect for today´s offer at kim´s blog…
i applied the new texture “storm” twice and stamped the matching text brush (blending mode: overlay). i felt it needed a little something on the lower right, so i stamped another brush with little opacity there. done!

another day, another texture from kim… thank you so much, again!
here i used “wonderfulmagic” 3 times, plus serendipity and golden (both also from kim).
the text part “Rest” (font: adorable, thanks for the tip, rosie ) is circled with a scribble brush, a freebie from kim a while ago. love this brush!
the color fits the theme “sepia” of tomorrow´s take-a-word challenge, and the three muses want to see “angels” this week.

oh yes, another one…;)

seems like i am a glutton for textures;)
leslie from “french kiss” also offers a freebie texture today, and i instantly fell in love with “intrepid“. i took this photo of a pomegranate last week and added “intrepid” twice here (brushed off the texture partly over the fruit in the second layer via layer mask).
thank you so much, leslie, i know this one will be become one of my faves… love the grungy style and that it has a frame…

over at kim klassen there is a generous offer of textures called the “12 days of textures”… so far we were gifted with 3 textures, which (among others) i used on these pictures from last winter.

PAF – “seasonal preparations”

i called my photo for this week´s PAF – showcase “bakin´ craze” (below you see the original picture i took on a christmas fair last week, above the altered version with blending mode lighter color and font bleeding cowboys).

i remember the days when the kids were little and enjoyed our chrismas baking. actually for me it was always a bit stressful, too, as we only have a very small kitchen… meanwhile i enjoy the luxury of buying the cookies at my trusted confectioner;) [and no, i do not miss the smell enough to accept the stress therefore;)]

ich liebe ausstechformen (und hab auch eine ganz nette sammlung davon), aber backen mag ich eigentlich nicht (mehr). unsere küche ist definitiv zu winzig, als dass mir das spaß machen würde. als die kinder klein waren gehörte die weihnachtsbäckerei natürlich dazu… aber ich gestehe, dass ich sie schon auch immer etwas stressig fand. mittlerweile gönne ich mir einfach den luxus und kauf mir die plätzchen beim konditor meines vertrauens;) [nein, ich vermisse den duft nicht so sehr, als dass ich mir dafür den stress dafür einhandeln würde, den so manche kampfbäckerin in meiner bekanntschaft hat... in meinem gekauften sortiment liegen viel mehr sorten, als ich in hundert jahren backen wollte... kann mich gar nicht locken;)]

das abgebildete foto (unten im original), das ich letzte woche in münchen auf dem christkindlmarkt gemacht habe, ist bearbeitet mit der blending mode lighter color und als schrift habe ich meine geliebten bleeding cowboys eingesetzt.
