CreativeTherapy – Catalyst 18

Posted on | July 13, 2008 | 2 Comments

Creative TherapyBon Jour, mis amis!

Sunday again! That means it’s time for CreativeTherapy! If this works as it’s supposed to, I’m currently bidding “Au revoir!” to France and I’m on my way back home to the States! I’m also probably exhausted, so I don’t know when I’ll be able to give you a “live” update. But, rest assured, there are a few more pre-scheduled CreativeTherapy Catalysts all ready to publish! ;)

CreativeTherapy - Catalyst 18

To the right is my response to this week’s Catalyst 18. I had a lot of fun making this one. I used a mixed media approach. I took a photo with my handy digital camera and then I uploaded it to PhotoShop Elements. I used the magic of Photoshop to duplicate the image into a layer and create a “photocopy” filter that I laid over the top of the original image; I set the opacity around 42%. I printed out the image on my laser printer and then I added colored pencils to add more life to the image. After that, I added some Sakura Glaze Gelly Roll pens for dimension (sorry, you can’t really tell, can you?) and outlines; then I added Pigma Micron pens for the journaling.

To read more about what is behind this response to the catalyst, go to see the CreativeTherapy blog to see the journaling! And, don’t be shy! Join in and show us how you’d answer the catalyst!
