Gerber Daisy

I'm joining AppHappyWednesday today with this Gerber Daisy pic.

Textured Gerber


I layered a few apps for this image.  First into the RDMagic for filters and texture.  Next I used Noir to create a B&W version.  I pulled both images into Diana to blend them together.  And finally into VSCOcam to soften and add split toning.

Have an awesome day!

Pomegranate

I completely forgot about "App Happy Wednesday" - and here it is Friday already!

Pomegranate

I took this picture with my DSLR camera (hope that's not cheating!) moved it to my phone and used phone apps to make the image.  I love the tiny seeds at the stem end of the pomegranate - and that pinky/red skin.

Taking Barb's lead, I used the Afterlight app to process the image - so many filters and possibilities.  I used both the Idaho and Howl filters on this image above.

I hope that you have an awesome weekend!

Roadside Beauty

A few days ago I was driving through my neighborhood on a road with a wooded park on one side and homes on the other.  Wildlife can often be spotted in this area so I usually drive carefully on this road - not only do I want to avoid hitting an animal, but drivers often stop quickly on this stretch of road.

I noticed a car pulled to the side of the road and the driver with his phone out was snapping photos of a flock of wild turkeys as they crossed the road.  I didn't have enough time to stop and take my own pictures - minutes, just minutes too late!

As I drove past this scene, I came upon a family of deer feeding along the edge of the road. I braked quickly, pulled to the side of the road, and grabbed my phone.  The deer where moving at a casual pace, but I managed to snap a few pictures of this mother and baby deer.

Mom and sweet baby

I used the basic camera app on my phone to take the picture and then the Snapseed App to adjust contract and adjust brightness - I also added tilt-shift because I like that "is that real" effect that it can give to an image.

Here is the same image processed twice in the Waterlogue app and blended in PS Touch app.

Red & White Meringues

Still playing with the Milk & Cookies theme!

This the last set of photos with my meringues!

I only made a small batch of each color and we've eaten them all!  Click HERE to see the lemon meringue images and click HERE to see the pink striped cookies.

This time I have red and white striped meringue cookies and a red and white striped straw.

Milk & Cookies - Red & White 1

This image was taken with the basic camera app on my phone.  I opened the image in the RD Magic app to add the lacy "wallpaper" and to blur the side edges. Then into the Rhonna app to add the circles and text.

Milk & Cookies - Red & White 2

A similar image - again taken with the basic camera app on my phone.  This time I opened it up in the Waterlogue app and applied the "Travelogue" filter - love the worn and aged look.

Milk & Cookies - Red & White 3

This is the same image as above.  This time I used Waterlogue to create two images - one with the "it's Technical" filter and the second with the "Rainy" filter.  Then I opened both images in the Diana app and blended them.

I hope that you have a wonderful day!

Phone App Art

Happy Wednesday!

I'm joining App Happy Wednesday today with a mixed-media like image.

This image started out as a picture of my jeans - just an image of the textural weave of the fabric.

I opened it up in the "RD Magic" app and added textures, filters, and color layers - adjusting the transparency of the layers, and erasing sections away so that other layers could be seen.  You can see the blue green color is lighter on the upper left, greener near the bottom and brighter to the right.  In the deeper layers you can see a lacy pattern in the upper left, handwritten letters on the right side and a map along the bottom.  I also add a dark grungy border.

Then I opened the image in the "Rhonna" app (which you can do within the RD Magic app).  I added paint dabs, borders, and stickers in shades of yellow, pink, blue, and grey - adjusting transparency so that I could add many layers.  I used lots of texture - like the blue dots that run through the center of the image, the yellow chevron stamp on either side, and the pink sun like shape in the bottom and top corners.  Lots of butterflies, feathers, and arrows too.  And then to top it off I added the "she made life magical' stamp.

It's like painting without getting messy fingers :)

Natures Drama

I love the lines and drama of this palm leaf.

The folds of this leaf narrow and lead down into the thorn-like center.  The rich and lush green color of the palm is amazing.

Palm

I'm joining App Happy Wednesday today.

I put the above palm image into the Noir app to desaturate the colors a bit and to highlight the lighting in the center.

Palm processed in Noir

Next I combined both images in the Diana app - so much fun to see the effects of the different filters in the Diana app.

I selected just six of them to show here - I saved more than a dozen versions!

I hope that you have a great day!

Woodland Bridges

I snapped this phone last weekend while on a hike in a park not far from my home.

We had just crossed over a simple plank bridge that spans a small creek, and I turned around to see all of these fallen trees creating new "bridges" over the creek.  The sun was high in the sky, lighting up the open space with a warm glow.

Woodland Bridges

I'm joining App Happy Wednesday today.  The process for this photo was pretty simple - I used the basic Camera App to take the photo and processed it in Snapseed.  I used the light leaks feature in Snapseed to add a little more warmth to the sun and to darken the edges.

Have a great day!

Batik Fabric Look

I'm playing along with App Happy Wednesday today - I created a batik fabric look from a photo taken on my phone.

Batik-Like Fabric Tulip

I used the Basic Camera App to take a photo of a bright orange and yellow tulip against a dark wood table.

Then I used the Tangent App to add a graphic element of white dots around the tulip.

Into the Waterlogue App - twice.  Once in the "Natural" style for a soft watercolor look and again in "It's Technical" style for contrast and deep color lines.  

I put both versions that were created in the Waterlogue app into the Diana App and combined them in the "Dreamland" filter - this adds a few bleached-like spots around the tulip.  I adjusted it a bit so that more of the "It's Technical" shown through.

I put the combined version into the PicGrunger App.  I applied the "Scuffed" effect and the "Canvas" texture to create the faded fabric look.

That's it!! It is so much fun to create art, wherever I am, with just my phone.

Have a great day!
