Wow, Jody, that is sooo cool! Thanks for sharing. What a beautiful bird too!

I've got to give that a go, as Dianne said, that is sooo cool! Fantastic layout as always Jody.

Interesting technique - I've been trying to figure out how to do it in GIMP. Do you do a spoongy erase in the middle, like with a grunge brush just with a very light hand?

Love those colorful birds, we don't have anything like that in the wild here, our birds are more monochrome. Great wordart in your title.

What an interesting bird! I don't think we have them here. The touch of bright color against the black and white is fabulous! And, you've sold me on that brush!

Just amazing. On top of the technique, I love the B&W with only the bird in color, plus using him as an emb on your WA.

This looks fantastic Jody. I love the way the birds and title are the only color on your page.

Very artistic. Love the bright color against the background. I tried this technique.... Did not look right. The trick is possibly the brush you used, and do you brush on the top or bottom layer. In your article it says the new layer... So bottom layer?

yes very artistic...love the spray paint bw and the color of the title and the embellie

Lovely layout Jody. I love this technique and have used it several times since it was in the NL. I don't have that particular brush but have used several others and it works great using them too. I think I am going to go buy the brush you use since there is a sale. This is the technique I used in my layout today too!

And you do this technique so beautifully!

Youve created something really arty here Jody. Great job.

Thanks for your tutorials, and it helps so much! Love your layouts, and I hope to try this. I used to do something like this with real paints.

This is really neat. I'm going to have to go check out that newsletter article and try this myself. Good job!

Amazing work Jode and you use your technique so well- I've even spotted many others using it. I love the stark white of your page with the birds and title giving color and I really like the one burd perched on the title. Gorgeous layout. You rock.
