Digital Art Journaling Class -- Backgrounds

Stamped-Gesso-web
Credits:  Coffee stains from Colorburned Creative/Grant Friedman, and Worn Hi-Res003 brushes from Photoshop Essentials website.
This is the first background I created in the Digital Art Journaling class I taking with Pattie Knox over at Debbie Hodge's Get It Scrapped website.   It's a bit subdued but I like it.



SORRY I POSTED WRONG PICTURE BEFORE!

Credits:  I'd like to credit the fair brushes but I have no idea where I downloaded them.  If anyone knows, I'd appreciate your telling me so I can properly credit the really cute brushes.
This is the second background I did, and I like it a lot better.  In addition to the digital gesso background, I used a photo I had taken of a creek, reduced the opacity to about 30%, and then stamped fairy brushes on different layers.  I think I made some of the impressions too deep, but that is easily fixed if I decide I want to change them because they are on separate layers.

These just look so realistic...I would never have guessed they were digital.
