That is perfect. The use of the chess pieces is so different and unexpected but makes the statement: we three kings. I love it. I like all your stuff though so I may be biased. 🙂
One of these days I may actually join one of your crusades. -
I love it! Beautiful and creative use of chess pieces. As a fellow artist I applaud you.
I look forward to sharing much inspiration! -
How very beautiful! As always, of course.

Yeah, but what if the custom brush clogs up? I had this brush problem yesterday, I kept picking out different brushes for the specific thing I wanted to do, which was to write with paint, and none of my brushes worked! I got so irritated! There was my palette, all laid out, and I was on the exact step in the project when I needed to write with my brush, and every.single.brush was WRONG! I mean, there was ONE brush that seemed PERFECT for this thing, and I got it out and was loading it up, and guess what?! It wouldn’t load because it’s a cheap piece of crap that got clogged up, so then I went and I cleaned it again, even though, I swear, I clean my brushes right away! I don’t know why it was giving me so much trouble. So, I’m cleaning, cleaning, and what happens? The bristles start coming out. What the h ? What am I going to do with one bristle? HUH?
Obviously, this didn’t happen with your brush, because this is beautiful. -
Michelle…this is stunning. One day I am going to tackle the digital art/photoshop aspect of creating :o)

hello Michele,
i thank you too for the tutorial !
I especially like the border !
I looked at the photo several times together with your guiding words. I’m not quite sure what your mean by “coloring” and custom brush star “burned”.
The photoshop I’m working with is in English, so sometimes it’s searching for what’s meant by specific words… I’ll try the several menu’s, maybe I find what you mean by coloring and burned.
Thanks for sharing your experience !
greetings

I love the three kings! How clever to use chess pieces! The digital art is perfect!
I just signed up to receive the coming Stampington Magazine, “Digital Studio” and saw that you’ll have an article on brushes. I recently got Adobe Photoshop Elements 6, but get very frustrated because I haven’t figured out how to use all the tools it contains.
