To Me From ME!

[Day Twenty Six]

Thinking about ME first this week ... saw some awesomely beautiful pink tulips while passing by the florist on Thursday and got busy all weekend getting them to pose for me, posting a few here in the blog and some HERE on my Flickr stream and still have a whole lot unprocessed on my hard drive ... never realised that a small bunch of flowers could be so much fun ...

Shot with a bit of fun ...




Recipe for Texture processing [top image]:

Layer 1: Background layer
Layer 2: Duplicate background layer at softlight
Layer 3: Kim's "littlethings" texture at 40% multiply
Layer 4: Kim's "now" texture at 100% screen [I reversed the texture so that it was a b&w negative image]
Layer 5: My water mark stamp

I am already Amazing?

[Day Twenty Five]

Am I? Not so sure, but thanks Kim for planting that thought in our heads, it is a start.

As you can see I have missed a few days, oh wells, guess that's how it works...get on with the days I can cope with ... today's challenge is simply simple from Kim ... Just a simple image using Kim's 'I am' texture and one of Kim's 'beyond affirmation brushes'... thank you Kim, you are really 'AMAZING'.

Finishing Touches

[Day Twenty One]

Today's challenge is to "Frame It", add the finishing touch to give your image just a little more edge, so to speak.  Here is one of my images with two different framing.
