Tuesday Tips & Techniques: Backgrounds

It's that time of year - the spirit of giving is all around, and I would like to give you, my wonderful readers, a small holiday gift!

Here are two background images designed and painted by myself.  Please feel free to download these background images and incorporate them into your own fantastic journal pages.  I have used the Microsoft Paint program to re-size them for the blog post, but if you have this program, you should be able to make them larger if you would like.

If you would like the original file, please leave a message in the comment box and I'll be happy to email the original jpeg file to you.

These background pages were made using water soluble crayons, watercolors, and alcohol.  What techniques will you use with these images?  Please feel free to share your wonderful works of art with all of us!  If you complete a page using one or both of these images, please post a link to your work in the comments section - we want to see!

Happy Holidays to you all, and thanks for making Tuesday Tips and Techniques a great success.  'Tis the season - get out there and "Celebrate, LOVE, and Create!"

The moon, on the breast of NO- fallen snow
Gave the luster of mid-day to objects below.
