Hello
Friends. It is a new year! Yay! 2018 is now here. I hope it is a fabulous year for all of you; including me. So many people are already sick with the flu this year; so be careful out there. Be sure to get plenty of rest, lots of fluids and stay away from crowds if possible.
I just got word this morning that my sister, Alice, is in the hospital with a bladder infection and pneumonia. She has never been in a hospital in her life; so I am sure it is a very frightening place to her. Her husband, Kenny, is also sick and sounds like he might have pneumonia as well. My sister, Becky, told me that her husband, Darrell, is very sick with a terrible cough; so he had to go to urgent care today as well. They don't even live anywhere near each other.
I finally had some time to create a tag for Aurora Wings "Anything But A Card' blog challenge. I used Aurora Wings "Wine Sprite" (PNG version); which is so adorable! I don't drink alcohol; but I had to use this digi. She is just the cutest thing ever! I love all of Mitzi Sato-Wiuff creations. You can find her digis at her Etsy shop or at AuroraWings.com. Check them out. I own most of her digis and try to keep up with all of her new releases; so I don't miss any of them. LOL! They are all fabulous!
I have been trying to get the colors corrected on this photo; as the picture does not show the true colors. I always have trouble taking pictures of purples. Does anyone else have that problem? If you know a solution; please let me know. It is frustrating and very time consuming. I tried everything this morning to get the colors correct. These are all shades of purple, in case you think they are blues. The ribbon is purple as well; but looks blue in the photo.
This is the PNG version; which allows you to print on digi paper. There is also a JPG version here.

Loving the image, she is so cute, for any occasion. Such pretty colours too, yes! I have problems with purple too, I try, sometimes successfully, to adjust in Photoshop. I'm not that good at that though LOL.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your Sister and the family, sounds like the Australian flu has reached your parts. It's causing a few problems this side of the pond too. Hope their better soon.

Precious tag Gloria, and with one of my favorite Sprites. Your purples look fab to me, and yes, I do have trouble with photographing them at times. Sometimes it seems to have something to do with the other colors I use in my project. Love your little gem accents and your pretty bow, too. Thanks so much for joining our 'Anything But a Card' challenge at Aurora Wings. xxD (P.S. Hope your family feels better soon and stay well.)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing your project and creativity at 613 Gloria! Really lovely blending and shading on this - and your color choices of the greens and violets are nice together. By the way, it may be your monitor Gloria - I see the ribbon as a blue-purple - but definitely purple!

This tag is sweet, Do you take your pictures in natural light or with a lamp? maybe you need to use a white or led lamp to get the results you want with the purples, but I see that your picture is very good. Thank you for play with us in Polkadoodles Craft Challenge - Anything goes.
ReplyDeleteI use a box with a natural light lamp. I have tried natural light; but it still looks blue. Thanks.
