Here with a card for my sister Natalie's birthday. I used the lovely "Shabby Tea Room Week #148 - Elegance" for inspiration. Here is the inspiration photo:
I have a new light tent that I ordered as a present for myself this past holiday season. I posted two photos today. Both were taken using the light tent. The first (with the heart tag outside of the heart pocket from Memory Box) is clearer and crisper and has been adjusted in my photo software which in my opinion makes the colors show darker than they are in real life. The second one has been left mostly unadjusted and is more true to the color the card actually is - ie: aqua mist and vintage cream card stock colors. However it also is not as crisp and clear in my opinion. Just curious which one you like better? I am playing around with lighting and trying to take better quality photos as it is one of the most difficult things for me in our dark and rainy climate. I think perhaps somewhere in between the two pictures both color and clarity wise? What do you think?
Thanks for taking a look at my card!

NOTE: There was a problem with my card pictures showing on this blogpost for a day after I originally posted it. Thanks to Deb and Marybeth for letting me know!!! I finally got the problem fixed at 5:20pm on 1/11/13. If you visited while the picture was not visible I apologize. :)

Hey Jill I don't see the photo. Is it that thing where you have to buy more space for your photos I went through that too! By the way my second daughter's name is Natalie

ReplyDeleteDeb - Finally got the problem fixed. It is a problem with loading photos only in Internet Explorer. When I switched to Firefox it all worked fine. It is strange that I could see the photo on my posts though...computers can be so confusing!!!
DeleteLOL!! Thanks again for your helpful emails today!!
Hugs,
Jill
Jill, this is just gorgeous!!! All of the blue and that vintage look is simply amazing.
ReplyDeleteOk I see it and your card is beautiful ! I kinda like the first photo. It just seems a bit crisper. My husband got me a wonderful tent lights and all . It was a thoughtful gift . I could not get the picture to work for the life of me. I took it back . I am very bad ....because I do that. I hope you have great luck with yours.
ReplyDeleteLove the doily and heart pocket on this gorgeous card!
