After transposing Ellen onto the beach in the quote journal...I was on a roll and did a few more digital art pieces for this shared art journal spread in Ellen's book.

In the Pages program there is a tool called "instant alpha" where you can mostly remove the background of a picture....some are easier than others.
This allowed me to place them on top
of the new scene below and overlay the quote.

This is a screen shot right from the document I worked on. |
My printer was running out of ink...but it actually gave the picture an interesting texture...so I went with it. I am pretty stingy with my ink...it's expensive!
I do like the loopy free motion quilting in the clouds.
For the bottle page I used this picture of Ellen and Phil at the Grand Canyon. I have always liked this image of the blue wine bottle from a magazine advertisement. I cut it out...including the label and scanned it. They I imported the jpg into "page layout" in my pages program. I cropped the picture of Ellen and Phil to place over the label....then I added the "Joy!"

Finally I printed it on card stock, cut it out again, and stitched it
on the watercolored background.
VoilĂ ! A Bottle of Joy!
