Gypsy Roses

This month at Gecko Galz, the challenge is Bohemian Rhapsody.  I created a set of digital ATCs as my entry.

Using PhotoShopElements software, I loaded the Gecko Galz collage paper of 6 ATC backgrounds.  I changed the title to Gypsy Roses to follow my theme of placing at least one rose on each ATC.  Most of the digital images required me to remove the backgrounds and create png files in order to place the images onto the ATC backgrounds.  This created a smooth blend of image and background.  With two of the images, I created frames around them for cohesiveness.

The following Gecko Galz digital collage sheets were used:

Rhapsody ATC background collage sheet
Gypsy Spirit, 
Boho Babies, 
Gypsy Magic,

Pretty Petals 
and some roses from other sources
