Inspire Me Monday: Blow Up Your Digis


Hey everyone, welcome to another Inspire Me Monday! Jessie here with you all again today, hoping to pop some cropping and watercolour inspiration into your Monday!


I enlarged and cropped the Heart Abloom Digital Image to fit the front of an A2 size card, then printed it out on Fabriano Artistico 140lb extra white hotpress watercolour paper. I then pulled out some of my Daniel Smith watercolor paints and had a blast painting up all these gorgeous florals!



Edit: We’ve gotten a lot of questions and comments about what method Jessie uses to resize her images. In a newsletter, I suggested enlarging the image in the print dialog box (that’s what I do) but Jessie has just created a REALLY HELPFUL tutorial video for showing how she enlarges, rotates, and crops images for cards using Microsoft Word. Take a look! ~marcella



Thanks for stopping by,
Hugz,
Jessie

Oh my, Jess, you are so funny and so fun! I love your card and love your video! (I love them all and always get a giggle at what you say.) Beautifully done, and thanks so much for sharing your coloring talent even when you are one super busy gal! Hugs!! xoxo

I would watch you paint flowers all day, so if you work out making that happen, you'd have at least one viewer! This is beautiful :-)
