"Glitter Embossing" - Postcard

© All Rights Reserved
This week’s Three Muses challenge was “flowers.” This ended up turning into an experiment on how to create digital glitter embossing. I created the flowers using a GIMP script I wrote, then bump mapped them. I used a holly stamp for the background, and embossed it with glitter. I also did that to the cardinal.

  1. This is such a beautiful piece, Anne. I love the subtle coloration. I have never heard the term "bump map" and have no idea what it is, but your results are truly lovely to see!

  3. Gimps and Bumps ... Miss Anne are you speaking in tongues!? Whatever language, I have to say I am uber impressed with the outcome. I keep thinking I should give GIMP a go and now I am sure I should.
