Cat Playing Piano

 

 

Cat Playing Piano

This is a cute picture as it is. Or, crop in closer on kitty for even better image.

Add tiny hearts or stars and musical notes around with thin wispy curves and 

swirling trails as if they're sounds coming from the piano.

Silhouette of a Horse-drawn Carriage with Women and Soldiers

 

Silhouette of Women in a Horse drawn Carriage with Soldiers.

You can make something similar to this if an image has a good outline.

First Convert a picture to black and white. 

Then try alternatively using the Paint Bucket Tool, the Eraser Tool, and the Pencil Tool until you get a crisp outline.

 When you choose the eraser and pencil tools pick options with crisp edges and put the opacity at 100 percent.

Fat Tabby Kitty Cats

Fat Tabby Kitty Cats

Wonderful Happy Tabby kitties! Even includes the bottoms of their little feetsies!

 Sooo... cute! These Prints will make great Ephemera.

 Their simple outlines should be easy to set up for making stickers.

Or print them on your home printer for easy "fussy cuts" (Hand cutting with scissors).

Simple coloring pages can be made by just turning them into grayscale images.

Animals

Four Panel Handkerchief

 
If the original download is "High Resolution" (such as this one 3000 x 2739)

 you can use parts of the larger image to create individual images like the ones below.

 

Using the Cloning / Stamp Tool you can isolate part of an image and create single smaller images like the two Giraffes below. Using the clone tool the surrounding animals have been removed so that the giraffes are isolated in the same color background.

Even though the giraffes are an enlarged area of a very small portion of the original image;

they can still print small images of about 2.5"x 3". 

This size can be used for printing on page corners or used to 

make small cards that can be used as Ephemera or put in Junk Journals etc.

 Lion Cub looking up and to the side

 

Cute as a Screen Saver!

The Magic Wand tool or the Magic Extractor tool can be used to separate the Cub from it's background. 

The resulting image would make a good piece for Derivative images because 

it can be used to direct attention to what the cub is looking at.

Drawings of Grizzly Bear Heads

 

Grizzly Bear Heads

Use these with themes of Woods, Wildlife, Forest, Woodlands, Circus, Bears,

 and with pages or projects with Brown, and Green Colors
(green because our subconscious thoughts automatically associate bears with forest colors).
They will also mix well with themes relating to Masculine and things tending to be of interest to Boys.
