Textures

I have never been able to figure out how to apply textures to photos since I am technically computer challenged. I was so glad to find picmonkey.com and to play with textures. Here are some photos I played around with.

I love how this texture makes this look like fabric.

This one was the paint feature in textures.

Love the marbling of this one.

Antique look here.

Another one using "paint".

Love this effect added to these bottles.

Script

Same bottle with another cool texture.

What's that you say? Oh, where can you find these bottles?
Come back on Sunday for a fun giveaway and where you can purchase some like these just in
time for Mother's Day.

Have you played in picmonkey.com yet?

If I can do it anyone can.

Kim~ I found this framed picture on my local CL. It looks like something that would fit into your house so nicely. http://dallas.craigslist.org/ndf/hsh/2967598855.html

I have only used it a little; just cropping and putting a water mark on pics, but after seeing this I must go and play! What fun and pretty pics. I think my favorites are the ones that look like fabric and the script.

Hope you are having a wonderful weekend!

Blessings,

Kim, these photos are beautiful and yes, the texture feature does make it look like fabric. I recently discovered picmonkey and love it. Haven't played with many of the features yet. Since picmonkey will soon be adding collages, I won't have to be so sad that piknic closed down. I'm all for easy photo editing and Photoshop is a nightmare sometimes.

I have played with it a little bit but haven't tried the textures. Very cool!

Kim I love PicMonkey that's what I've been using since picnik closed. Your pics look awesome!

NanaDiana said...

Kim- I have never used those things either. I need to get out there and try it! Those bottles are great! xo Diana

Connie @ Sensible-Redesign said...

Love your pictures. I have used Picmonkey but only to take away wrinkles and make myself slimmer ;)

Nancy @ The Headmistress said...

Love the effects! Haven't played with picmonkey yet, but have with photobucket. Don't think the bucket has all the stuff that the monkey does, though. Will definitely be checking it out! Thank you for the great information!

Linda @ Itsy Bits And Pieces said...

Fun, Kim! I love playing on PicMonkey, too...easy and creative!

Karen said...

I love picmonkey.. it's very easy to use and the effects are just as good as picnik. (same people, so that makes sense.)

I am using picmonky for all my photos now, but haven't had a chance to play with the textures feature yet. Looks like a lot of fun.

Denise at PinkPostcard. said...

Hi Kim! Thank you so much for stopping by yesterday and your sweet comments. I am so glad you told me about the feature!! I DID miss it! Life has been crazy here since I finished that project, and I have missed going to a lot of blogs since then. : (
Thanks for letting me know! I am sporting the WOW button proudly now! ;)

Little Miss Maggie said...

I have been meaning to try this program. You are giving me hope I will be able to accomplish something with it. Thanks.

janet said...

I found Picmonkey a while back and it is my go to editing tool now. I understand it was started by the same people who created Picnik

Kim,
You have discovered textures! They are fun. It took me a while to figure out how to make the best of them.
If you need any help with editing photos, let me know.

Lynn said...

Kim, I don't know how to get to the giveaway post on the bottles once this new blog stuff has started. I just want to know where to purchase the bottles, Thanks. Lynn.

Budget Design Girl said...

Wow, those photos look really cool! I have only spent a few minutes on pic monkey. I don't like learning how to use new programs, but you are right, it seemed fairly simple. After looking at what you've done here, I am inspired to head over and spend a little more time playing around.
LOVE those bottles!

Lovely techniques. I would have guessed the first shot was fabric until I read further. I have never tried that program, may head over and give it a look-see:)

Jessica @ Stay at Home-ista said...

I really must get over there, I've been using PIcasa which is great for no-fuss, no-frills photo editing, but PicMonkey looks like fun:)
