Sleep and let sleep

Sleep and let sleep

Tried a new extracting technique on this one. The dark cat was against a light pink background and in order to keep the fur I first drew around the cat with a feather of about 50 and then deleted the background. Then I used the burn tool to darken the pink and erased what I could using about a 30 percent opacity. I also cut the word art out of another layer of the flowers and then beveled it. Other than that just played around with the opacity of the layers for the swirls and the overlay.

I've fallen very far behind but I'm going to try to catch up here. Sometimes life just gets in the way of good intentions!
