MDSM4 A Vacation Morning ~ Color for Emphasis

Morning Everyone!  I'm not sure how I feel about this page yet.  Feel like something is missing, but I've already added several layers... I'll stew on it.

Little Missy is still inseparable from her sippy cup.  I thought Papa and her having their morning drink by the pool was too cute.  I tried to simulate some patterns reminescent of looking into a pool with the chevron patterns and the crinkled background from Natural Composition Overlays.

I also used a photo-editing trick, using color for emphasis.  Did you notice I removed the color from the circular photo to focus on Missy?  I pulled out my Photoshop Elements books so I can try more photo tricks in the future.

Here is Holly's sketch on the MDS Monday Challenge.  Make sure you join us!  Why not?  Nothing wrong with getting your practice in while also getting some pages done.

I also had a moment to play along with the challenge on mydigitalstudio.net, 2012 Faves.  I thought it was fun to ask my daughter her favs.  Five-year-olds have such cute answers!

I think maybe I'll ask her every year and see how her answers change... fun!  I used an older sketch from Silhouette Studio.
