It's time for a new Dynamic Duo challenge. This challenge will focus on a LO design element or technique and a photo and/or journaling element each month.

This month's challenge is based on saturation - totally in honor of April showers. Now, onto the challenge - my challenge for you is to use paint, watercolor, colored markers or pencils to enhance design elements on your pattern paper(s) and/or boost the color saturation in your photo(s), if using more sophisticated photo editing software maybe even run some great color boosting actions or use your most colorful photo(s) (no editing required).

Your LO may contain just the design elements (enhancing pattern paper elements with paint, watercolor, colored markers or pencils) and/or the photo enhancement (color saturating your photo(s)) - it's up to you!

On this LO, I used a Bienfang Watercolor Brush to add color to three of the flowers. I also increased the color saturation in my photo using basic photo editing software.


Remember to link your completed LO(s) back to this thread by the end of the month for your chance to win the Dynamic Duo Challenge Charm.

BTW, last month's thread was so full of awesome eye candy - I can't wait to see what you do this month. I fully expect to be blown away again...

Enjoy!

I spritzed the pink number paper with "Glimmer mist". The flower paper is by Rusty Pickle and started out just black and white. I used silver metalic pencil on the flowers and flourish, painted with a stamp ink pad on the butterflies and heart. I wanted more "bling" I went over the pink with "Glimmer mist" painting it on. I touched up the silver with "Shimmerz".

The pictures in this LO weren't that great but I still wanted to scrap them because it was our first circus with Kevin... So since I couldn't fix the blurryness of the chinese dragons, I upped the saturation a little to get them brighter. I could only do it a little though without messing up the photo.. Hope this is ok for this challenge.
