As Soft As the Stuff They Sailed Upon - CorelDRAW - PhotoPaint - Filter Forge

Click for Larger Image

This image is entitled "as soft as the stuff they sailed upon." was created in CorelDRAW and adjusted in PhotoPaint. I followed the same basic steps as I had with yesterday's image.

I opened CorelDRAW and imported from my Mayang's Textures folder three differing texture photographs. I resized them and placed them.

I went online to fillerati.com and copied a partial quote from Edgar Rice Burroughs, and placed that on the imported textures. I used the typeface Abadi MT Condensed Extra Bold for the text phrase. I forced justified the full quote, using the color green.

I added a portion of the quote in large text and placed it on top the image, this time at an angle. I duplicated that quote in an orange color to offset from the light yellow. This was left justified.

I grouped the pieces together and copied to the clipboard. I opened PhotoPaint and pasted as New from Clipboard the large file, closing CorelDRAW. I then resampled the file for display. And from my Dover Clip Art folder I added a Vintage young lady image.

I went into Filter Forge's Photo Effects Grunge and selected a variant. I adjusted the stains and amount of texture for that grunge look and feel, without overpowering the image. This also placed a frame around the full piece.

I added my signature to complete the piece. I saved the image to share here.
