Tiny Leaves Background

Tiny leaves background look like green stars clustered on a stem.  This makes an attractive background with a nature theme.  Blurry yellow flowers behind will add color and brightness.  Any theme about freshness,  summer and tropical settings perfect with this photo .

Photo Painting Effects

Photo painting effects are achieved using Photoshop filters.  These are photos taken with a bit of blur, not so good lighting and defective white balance but with  the tools available on the software, these painting effects turned out nicely.  If you need some background with the painted look then you can use these image as you like.

Unique Gift Ideas

Are you looking for unique gift ideas to give someone who has everything?  It's really hard to shop for someone who is wealthy or with authority like your boss.  Here is a great gift idea that everyone will appreciate.  Give them their own caricature, have it printed on a t-shirt, bag, mug, cap etc

I found a website that makes caricature artwork that you can order online. Here are some samples of their work.

 

It will be a great gift for co-workers, friends and relatives.  Some even use it for their company logo.  If you would like it printed on a t-shirt here is what you'll do:

1.  Go to their website here DIMPLE ART. to oder your caricature.

2.  Once you get your caricature from them, you can send me a copy file or maybe a photo of the caricature and I will have it printed on a t-shirt or on any gift item of your choice from my cafepress shop.

3. Email me your questions and requests at ellen1287@yahoo.com.

They will surely love this!

Whimsical Dogs

I love drawing whimsical dogs.  It's fun creating funny shapes that turn out into cute cartoon dog characters.  In my spare time i doodle anything that I think would look cute so I can upload it on Shutterstock.  Here are some uploaded cartoon dogs I created that got accepted.

Vector Banners with Vines, Leaves and Flowers

My latest upload to shutterstock is a set of vector banners with vines,leaves and flowers.  The designs can be used for gift tags, titles, short notes or phrases to convey messages.  I used classical floral icons with swirling vines and leaves intertwined with the banner for that vintage look.  You can always download it from shutterstock, and you can edit the colors if you want using photoshop or Illustrator.
