These
digital images are great for creating background
papers or embellishments for your artwork. Try
using your ink jet printer to print on transparencies,
rubons or shrink plastic. Many digital scrapbookers
like to use Adobe Elements for this kind of
work and it is nice to be able to open all the
individual images you want to use and then paste
each element just where you want it into one
page you plan to print. If you have a digital
camera or ink jet photo printer, your hardware
might have come with a CD containing software
for photo editing that will work or at least
get you by to get the feel for whether digital
art is something you want to pursue.
The princess of everything card was created
by ink printing the typewriter key alphabet
on shrink plastic. As described below. The Tim
Holtz brush words were printed on a self-adhesive
transparency and cut out and placed on the left
side of the card. The Princess
of Everything stamp is by Lost Coast Designs.
The daisies are German
foils.
The background paper for the
fashion diva card was created using images from
the Vintage Ephemera CD and some Photoshop color
tricks (color can be added manually using stipple
brushes or sponges instead). 
The paper for the card on the
right was printed out on on an ink jet printer
and the Mannequins stamp set from Lost Coast
Designs was stamped in black ink over the background
papers.

Instructions for making
the typewriter key embellishments:
Print the images you want
to use on shrink plastic or transparencies.
|
 |
| If you size
the round images correctly you can use your
1" circle punch to punch them out of
the shrink plastic. |
 |
| Shrink
them in the toaster oven on the regular
setting for toast for 2-3 minutes. Each
image shrinks to about 20% of it's original
size. The 1" letters become about 7/16"
in diameter, |
