DID ANYONE SAY DOG......

This postcard is a favorite from my personal collection and  the dogs face is priceless.  I believe the dog is a poodle but it could be something else entirely.  To me the dog has a look of "Okay enough, can I go now" and the little girl is so sweet.

I have included a high resolution of this image for you to use in your creations.  I only ask that you do not sell it as a digital image or on a digital collage sheet. This image has been restored and repaired by me but anything else is fine.  I would love to see some of your creations from this image and showcase them on my blog.

Anway enjoy this special postcard and have fun......

THE JOYS OF DIGITAL RESTORATION......



Before




After

TILLY & HER DOGS......



One of the great joys for me has been learning how to use Photoshop and acquiring a new skill.

Truly amazing!

When I first started it was with very simple things such as repairing a tear or a dirty mark.  Since then I have learned a lot through mostly experimention and mistakes.  Many, many mistakes, you do not see the ones that do not meet the mark.

I have included for you to see a before and after postcard that I own.  Although the postcard was not in great shape and the colors were awful I did not let that deter me from buying it and bringing this wonderful image back to life.

Depending on the original state of the postcards it can take from 30 minutes to literally hours to complete.  This was an hours image, I think you can tell!!!

Sometimes I nearly give up......

One thing I learned early on was to save, save, and save my work as I went along.  I have lost images that were nearly finished if there as a glitch on my computer.  It took a few hard earned lessons before I really began to make it a habit.

Enjoy having a peek at what can be done and don't be aftraid of learning something different, you might find a new love, I did!!

This sweet image is now available from my etsy store YOUR CRAFT POSTCARDS and you can find it HERE.
