Fortune and Prosperity - We are always looking forward to see what the future holds for us and hope that there will be that pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. Those ideas were my inspiration for the attached pictures.
I photographed virtually all of the small candles I had, then took a photo of a crystal ball I found at Caufield's. I scanned money, used the quick select tool and move tool to place in the crystal ball and then merged them together. I scanned my hand, used the magnetic lasso, select tool to feather the image and move tool to place it in the picture. I then duplicated the layer, used the transform, free transform and horizontally flipped the image to add the other hand. I added Text "FORTUNES", added a 50% arc and placed it in the crystal ball.
To illustrate "PROSPERITY" I used photos of Churchill Downs, a slot machine from Paris Casino, a roulette wheel, chips and laydown from our casino night party and I scanned a winning poker hand. I used a picture of the sky for my background. I used plastic Easter eggs and the rectangular marquee tool to select colors to create a rainbow. I stretched each section of color, merged them together and then used the filter Twirl to get an arc, then used the rectangular marguee tool to select a portion of the rainbow and moved it to the picture. I added the text "PROSPERITY" and modified the arc to flow with the rainbow.
