Wednesday Challenge #120

Challenge by Tape

This is my favourite vase - it was hand-painted by my aunt Tarja. Feel free to do whatever you like with it, no restrictions this time. When posting your results, please include a brief 'howdunit' if you can. Anyway, the most important thing is to have fun!

All my images were done with multiple layers. A short description follows each one.

I turned Aunt Tarja's vase into a plate

1. Background gradient fill
2. Gold circle
3. Smaller black circle
4. Another gold circle
5. Centre another black circle
6. Cut-out applied to give depth
7. Flower with tansparent background with vase components removed, centered
8. Buttonised.

1. Background Duotone bright green, sunburst
2. Each flower was on a different layer
Large one dragged from Layer palette and centered
3. Large one dragged again and resized with deform tool
4. Resized one taken from Layer palette and rotated 45degrees
5. Step 4 repeated until 8 small flowers surround the large one
6. Border added the colour of the flowers
7. Bevelled for effect



1. Flower tubed
2. Vase from another tut
3. Tubed flower and leaves used in various sizes to make a floral arrangement
4. Background 'wallpaper' flood-filled into selected Rounded Rectangle
5. Table top from woodgrain flood-fill then Perspective Correction applied
6. Border same colour as wood, corners filled with same colour too
7. Edge bevelled



1. Background was made by using the vase image as a pattern to give the multiple repeats
2. Original vase picture centered on background
3. Vase image superimposed using Image || Arithmetic || Average
4. Borders added with final buttonizing



A combination of Kaleidoscope, borders & gradients
