inspiration avenue weekly challenge.... peaches & cream

i've been sick this week so i originally was gonna opt out of submitting an entry for this week's challenge. first i thought i had one of the nasty flus but i don't think so now. i never had a fever & i think i've recovered too quickly for the flu. oh well... i almost wish it had been to get it over with but now i still can look forward to it! joy!

my lovely husband brought me a bouquet of flowers to cheer me & what do you know... there were some beautiful "peachy" roses.

so first i made a card....

i've been wanting to learn how to use photoshop elements & so i got out my new book ... "for dummies" & played around with some of the filters.  i really love the watercolor one....

so then i was "inspired" to take it a little further & i attached it to a canvas board & added some gel medium for texture....

there is so much talent on inspiration avenue so pop on over & see this week's entries....

photo of the week.....wall art

 

there's a little nearby town where i frequently go to hang out with my camera.  there's a beach & a few downtown streets full of wall art. jessica rogers does a weekly photo submission where members of the poe & polaroid teams submit a photo taken that week.  it's lots of fun & we totally appreciate her hard work.  go on over to her blog & take a look at this weeks' entries.  you can see the tile art she's been doing too.... beautiful work!
