Textured Bouquet

The very last of the tulip photos, as they have faded after filling the house with beauty for over a week.

Cure for The Winter Blues

I adorned the original with two textures - a linen one and two layers of Kim Klassen's Reentry texture. I used two layers of the same texture to enhance the soft light blending mode I was using. I also removed the linen texture from the middle flowers using a layer mask.

Here's the original:

The textures, especially the Reentry layers brighten it all up.

Here's to brightening things up this Tuesday. It's cold here, but the sun is shining, so we're all good.

  3. Beautiful! Tulips from Trader Joe's or my local grocery keep me sane in winter. After all a girl has to have something to take photos of. I really, really like the textured photo ... such an amazing and dramatic enhancement.
