The flowers were taken at a farm in South-Central Utah. A beautiful place I love to visit often.
My Tools and Downloads:
Photoshop CS
I downloaded this Photoshop Storyboard or Book Template
I read up on how to make your own template from Digital Image Cafe
I downloaded this free romantic font: http://www.dafont.com/champignon.font
I downloaded this watercolor paper off of flicker: http://www.flickr.com/photos/schmod/419640051/
- I took 13 of my favorite flower images and enhanced this images in photoshop using dodge and burn and levels tools.
- I arranged all the images in the collage and included the water color paper as the background image.
- I then found a really awesome talk on "The Atonement" on the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints website by Bruce C Hafen.
- Although I minored in French and lived in southern France for a year and a half. I am not inclined to translate all too well. I love the way French words sound and look, I wanted to use the words around the image to make this a themed piece of artwork. So I found an online Translator: http://www.freetranslation.com/
- I chose a portion of the text and copied it and pasted it into an online French translator.
- “My past life was a wilderness of weeds, with hardly a flower strewed among them. But now the weeds have vanished, and flowers Spring up in their place. We grow in two ways—removing negative weeds and cultivating positive flowers."
- I arranged the words around the collage. I copied the words again, a little larger and gave them an opacity of about 40%.
- I flattened the image in photoshop and viola an image for my wall.
I hope you enjoy it!
