Pink and grey grunge

A pink and grey with a touch of black grunge image.

Abstract Grunge

Started with an mixed media art page for my quote book series. Adjusted it in Adobe CS5.  This image is in low res so recommended for using online such as Polyvore etc.  Play and enjoy!

Sequin Waste Macro Twirlies

Took a shot of sequin waste using my Canon Macro lens then played with it in Adobe Photoshop CS5. 

Mossy Tree Bark

This all started from a shot I took of mossy tree bark.  Digitally altered in Adobe Photoshop CS5.  75 Dpi * so only recommend using it for PC and online use such as Polyvore etc.  
*As is most of these free backgrounds on my blog because of limited free storage space.

Rose Petals

Took a shot of some rose petals then digitally altered them in Adobe Photoshop CS5.  Have fun with this in Polyvore too!

Grunge Envy!

Started by creating a mixed media page then digitally altered it in Adobe Photoshop CS5. Used Hue Adjustment and accented edges.

Dark Diamond Delight

Started with a scanned image of a fabric diamond design and a collaged sheet then digitally altered in Adobe Photoshop CS5.

It all started with a rose petal macro!

I started with a macro shot of my rose petal. Played with it in Adobe Photoshop CS5 and added a stamp. Also used the Hue Adjustment.

Aqua Grunge

Started by painting a gesso water colored sheet with oil pastels,stamps, etc then digitally altered it.

Purple Play

Created this by drawing freehand design with oil pastels then digitally altered in Adobe Photoshop CS5.

Happy - watercolor - digitally altered.

........... Created this from a watercolor page I am making for my quote book.

It all started with a macro rose petal!

Wild Child Painted Paper Towel

After painting on paper towel I digitally altered this background.  It may be used as an entire background or crop out selected portions.  Have fun - I did!

Multi colored digital background.

This started with a failed nightime photo that I kept and added a blend of my lilac image. Who would have ever known.

This is not a large image so you may have to resize it in your photo editing software.

Watercolor diamonds with fibre tissue overlay.

Started with hand painted watercolors to form these diamonds. Digitally altered the sheet that was scanned into my pc.

Failed floral photo as a background.

Sorry, but I can see the potential for digital art with this photo that is so blurred that it looks like a wanna be bokeh.

Tamarack using stamp filter.

This was a closeup of a tamarack tree in our back yard. I used the Stamp Filter. It would like great in a blending mode - the rest is your imagination. Please share with me what you create with this. Enjoy.

Digitally altered green diamond paper towel.

I just have to experiment with everything don't I ? Altered this in Photoshop by applying a Stained Glass Filter.

This truly is mixed media.

Took distress ink and rubbed it over the crumpled vintage sheet music surface to give it a grunge look. Then in Photoshop I used the palette knife filter.

Original watercolor then digitally altered backgrounds

I did this small watercolor of 3 floral sprigs. Scanned it into my pc then played with Photoshop.
Thought these would make unusual backgrounds in part or whole.
