Monday Mojo - Joining the Images (and Challenge Winner)

Hi gang! Karen here with Monday's serving of Mojo, intended to stimulate your creativity and getting those juices flowing :-)

Today I am combining images. Most digital cameras, graphic tablets and printers etc comes with imaging software. It is a good idea to play around with yours and find out what's what, you'd be amazed what you can do once you start playing. For this image I used the software that came with my camera (Photoshop Pro), MS Paint and MS Word.

The Madion in Venice image had elements that I didn't want to use here, so I "erased it" with the eraser in Photoshop (you can also do this in Paint but be aware that this also removes the transparency of the image so save a copy first). I needed to make Mikey solid with only the background transparent, or Madison would show through, so I filled the body with white in MS Paint, then opened it up in Photoshop and removed the background around Mikey.

The images were then inserted into Word; Madision was set to float behind the text (double-click/Layout) and Mikey in front of text. They could then easily be resized and moved into the required position.

Alternatively you could of course print both images out separately and cut them out to arrange them. I think this is great for any "couple occasion". Make her dress white or Ivory and it's a perfect wedding card - even leave it as it is if the bride is somewhat "unconvential" :-)

Pop over to my blog for a list of products used. I wont keep you in suspenders anymore because I now have to draw the winner from my Sunday challenge. Not many of you enjoy a Christmas challenge in April it would seem but then there is of course more chance for those of you who did enter :-) Using random.org here is the winner:
