Practice with Photoshop

This is my first experience combining images with Photoshop. I was successful, although unsure of exactly how I did it! I have combined images from two very generous and talented sources. The girl image is Mrs. Tilly Claus a freebie supplied by the talented Wendy at Wendy's Digital Doodling. She has some great images and if you get a chance please check out her blog here. Both the lamp post on the outside of the card and the inner cluster frame are from a wonderful site called Raspberry Road Designs. Both images are free and they have wonderful and generous talent. I check their blog daily. Check out Raspberry Road Designs here. I added pearls to Mrs. Tilly Claus coat and stickles to the snow flakes and lamp post. I used the homemade flower soft fluff for the snow. I used Prismacolor pencils and OMS to color her. The only exception is I use a copic marker for all my skin tones. And yes for my item at least a year old..the metal snowflake brad has been in my stash ..forever! I added a few rhinestones to bling it a bit. The idea to crop the top of the Mrs. Tilly Claus image and place it on the inside of the card is not my original idea. However, I cannot remember who I scraplifted (cardlifted?) it from. Sorry! I am still a work in progress! Thanks for looking and have a great week.
