CU Laundry Day Fabrics

(Click on the photos above to view full size previews)

Hi All:

I meant to publish this CU/PU textured overlay, sample paper  & element pack for you about two weeks ago but my volunteer work as a dog rescue facilitator for a rural, municipal animal shelter took precedence....and I've been swamped with work and up to my ears in companion animal fur as of late. I'm also working on a new, PU altered art kit in homage to these dogs. Nonetheless, here you go on the textured overlay end!

 All overlays were photographed and edited by me. This pack includes 16 textured overlays, 7 sample papers and an element pack to illustrate the textures' potential when viewing the raw material! The overlays and papers are created at 2300 DPI (based on camera settings & limitations) and come in an assortment of 1800 x 1800 pixels or 2400 x 2400 pixels. Enjoy this pack and if this is your first visit to my blog, be sure to check out all my other CU/PU free designer resources and PU-only freebies!

This pack is split in to three parts to make it easier for those

CU Tin Foil Follies & Other Remnants

(Click on the photos above to view full size previews)

Hi All:

Here is another CU/PU textured overlay & sample paper pack for you. All overlays were photographed and edited by me. This set continues and enhances much of the previously posted CU Cellophane Overlay Pack tradition, although this round I spent time photographing aluminum foil sheets with the addition of cellophane under different lighting conditions. A few random texture additions that don't fit in to any particular category are included in this pack, along with 7 sample papers to use as well as inspire you! The overlays and papers are created at 2300 DPI (based on camera settings & limitations) and come in an assortment of 1800 x 1800 pixels or 2400 x 2400 pixels. Enjoy this pack and if this is your first visit to my blog, be sure to check out all my other CU/PU free designer resources and PU-only freebies!

CU Solids, V.I

I am on a roll with respect to textured overlay production and distribution. This set of solids is focused primarily on "found," random elements (both natural and manmade) photographed on the rural property I live on as well as the rural, landfill municipal shelter where I volunteer to help euthanization endangered dogs find rescue.

These textured overlays are created at 230 DPI, based on my camera's highest setting and my computer's limitations. Overlay sizes are assorted, from 1000 x 1000 pixels to 2400 x 2400 pixels (10 inch print quality).

CU Cellophanes

Hi All:

I love layering! When teaching digital layering to students, I compare layering to the stacking of "window panes" and synergy. Each transparent pane of glass has its own, unique imprint or characteristic that both stands alone or, when stacked, creates a complete, new work reflecting the sum of the parts.

Recently, I photographed several transparent items with the intent to create clear "sheets" of texture to enhance both simple colors and complex works. The result is my CU Cellophanes Overlay Pack, now available for download! Enjoy!

CU Border Template Pack with Finished Samples

Hi All:

For my followers, if you are making your way in thinking a new, altered art kit is available, I hate to disappoint you! I have a few, utilitarian freebies to share. Sometimes process flourishes from getting "back to the basics!"

This week, I am distributing a new set of self-designed border templates and finished samplers, seen above and below, for Commercial and Personal Use. Unlike my downsized, 1800 x 1800, full decked out scrap kits, my Commercial Use freebies are and will be in traditional, 3600 x 3600 scrap kit format (my computer can handle an element in this size range - just not digital papers, which send its "energy level" in to oblivion!) The set includes 5 designed from scratch templates along with 10 finished samples & some bonus, angled dividers. All items are CU & PU. Review my TOU to familiarize yourself with the details and restrictions.

Enjoy!

While NO CREDIT is required, I would really appreciate it if designers would notify me when my CU work is used, as it lets me know that providing it is a useful endeavor I should continue on with in the future.
