July Desktop-Free for You
The end of June means a new desktop! I have fallen in love with the newest collab by Studio Tangie and Studio Rebecca; Steampunk-Maritime:

This desktop was a personal battle in my life, not to stay safe in the port, no matter what monsters are out there, go and experience the adventure. I hope you enjoy it, and push your ship from the shore a little this month! You can download the desktop HERE. Please note the picture here is a low pixel copy and will look bad as a desktop.

May Desktop Freebie!
Hello Everyone! I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend! It’s that time again if you can believe it? Time to flip that calendar over to the next month! I’ve created a desktop background for you this month (no calendar on it, but room to add one if you wish!). I hope you enjoy! Thank you so much for making Studio Tangie part of your artful journeys!
April Desktop Free for You!
I did a desktop this month without a calendar, I so hope you enjoy it!
I wanted some poetry, and it seemed to all flow with theme. It has been pouring here in California (it is Spring time) and John Keats is always a good thing to read.
I used some of Tempest-Tossed (previously released) and Silhouette {Collab w/DeCrow Designs} that was just released last night:

I am off for Vegas also, so will be back with pictures of the class and Tangie Baxter and more! Enjoy the end of March!
Free Rocks and Tutorial to Put them in Your Own Bowl!
After the much sought after techniques I used to make my first rock layout, I’ve written you a tutorial with links to the resources to get everything you need to make YOUR OWN including a ROCK FREEBIE by Tangie!
Here’s the bowl of rocks we’re going to be making!
Now pay close attention to the shadows and lighting. This is of the utmost importance. Watch the light. I turned my bowl so the light was coming from about 10:00 on the scale or 120 degrees in the angle on your shadows.
2. Extraction
3. Effects
Then added a nice shadow with a bit of a glow in my fx panel:
Next I used the “BAM BAM” technique from the Art Journal Caravan to fill my canvas with rocks, but you can do it however you want to get those rocks on your canvas.The “BAM BAM” technique is not top secret, but a fun thing to learn on the AJC2011 in the forum, on one of the many FREE tutorials included with your journey.
2. Place the Rocks in Position
Click on the rock of your choosing. This way the text will be in the layer right above the rock. For shiny rocks and to get the engraved look, I then applied Paula Kesselring’s FREE burning action. I had to lighten the opacity and play with the actual colors of the bevel and shadows to get the look I wanted on each rock, and again I say, play and make your eyes happy with your heart.
For the non-shiny rocks; use the same directions, click rock and add font layer above the rock.
March Desktop Free for You!
Okay, I played and played, and laughed at the March winds as I played! I am ready for the winds of winter to blow away:

I know, I know, February is for hearts and love, but you see I love Steampunk! What fun it is to make things with, explore with, experiment with and just have as a go to collection of all things Steampunk! Buying them bundled is the best buy!
I played with the fun and fabulous bundles of Steampunk by Tangie Baxter and her mom Rebecca McMeen and have this Steampunk February Desktop for you!
