Flower Art Friday # 4 - May 18, 2012

ATTENTION FLICKR MEMBERS! I've started a new group on Flickr called Flower Art Fabulous. Feel free to share all your creative and beautiful flower art there as well!




Welcome to our Flower Art Friday #4 for May 18, 2012.   We open the gallery at 8:00 a.m. CST on Thursdays and it stays open until Saturday evening right before midnight.



Today's Tulips were sent to me by my eldest son's girlfriend for Mother's Day. While not quite a tutorial, here's a list of what went into the mix:

Rad Labs: Lights On, Prettizer (twice), and Grandma's Tap Shoes (pretty much accepted defaults on all settings)
French Kiss Collections: Summer Sky_Texture
Shadowhouse Creations: Text Brush
Pixel Dust Photo Art: Mother Love Texture
Kim Klassen Cafe: Paper 4 Texture

Before we get this party started, here's just a quick reminder of the rules before we begin.

Flower Art Friday is a weekly gallery featuring your floral themed creations. We will have themes from time to time, but these will only be suggestions and you may feel free to deviate if you like. Obviously the theme revolves around flowers,and works submitted can be photos, digitally manipulated photos, textured photos, or mixed media collages.

Check out my resources page for information on some great sites that provide free textures, clip art, and tutorials.

The rules are pretty simple. Your link should go directly to your blog post or flickr post, and I ask that you post a link back to my blog in return. Post only your original work, and give credit appropriately to the source of images, clip art, or textures you may use in your piece. It would be awesome if you would grab my badge and include it in your post.

You also get to vote for your favorites. I will feature the top three picks on my blog next week, so if you participate please note that you are also giving me permission to repost your photo here.

Alrighty then...let's see what you got!
