Caturday Art

Brrrrrrr! It's cold outside! We know many of our friends live in climates where they have very cold weather in the fall and winter, but here in the South, we think it's cold if it gets below 60 degrees. It's been in the 30s in the mornings and up to the 50s during the day. We're staying inside beside Mom Paula as she sips on hot chocolate and watches the Hallmark channel.

We used two different programs for our Caturday Art creation today.



We thought we'd take you through the steps of our Caturday Art Creation today.

1. Here is the original photo I took of Brulee last night. It's a beautiful photo of Brulee, so I thought I'd be a little different this time by beginning with a photo that looked great from the beginning.

2. I opened the photo in LunaPic and selected the Snowflake Border under the borders tab. I almost stopped with this effect because I loved it! However, I wanted to be a little more creative today and see what I could do to illustrate how cold we felt the last couple of days. So I began searching different effects in LunaPic.

3. I clicked on the Effects tab and found Christmas Effects. There were several effects in this section and I chose the Frost Art. I thought the result was what I was looking for but I wanted a little bit of color in the piece.

4. The next step was to open the piece in PicMonkey, which is my favorite photo editing program. The first thing I did was to go to the Touch Up section and add some green back to Brulee's eyes and some red to her nose.

5. I liked how this added some color to the photo, but there was still something missing, so I began searching in the Themes section and clicked on the Winterland section and found the Snowfall effect which resulted in our Caturday Art creation today. I like how the shadows of the effects make it look like Brulee is looking over a mountain slope (the leather chair) with the cold and frost around her.

Final Caturday Art Creation

This was fun. It shows that you can play around with various effects and get an amazing result if you keep experimenting.
