Getting Ahead

For Texture Tuesday 28th June. I'm getting ahead of myself, but as I have a few spare moments, I'll post this now. I used Kim's texture "Golden" set at "Colour" 48%,  and then "Stained Linen" set at "Darken" 71% and erased "Stained Linen" from the flower heads.

Texture Tuesday

In advance for next Tuesday. I took this photo at a local folk festival and this couple seemed mesmerised by the clog dancing. I thought they looked so sweet and relaxed in each other's company.
For this image, I used Kim Klassen's textures:
In The Pink set at Colour,
Grey Day Stone set at 22% and luminance,
Grey Day Stone set at 40% and luminance with centre erased to fade the background/ see more of the couple

Ham Hill

Time for Texture Tuesday at Kim Klassen's place. Two of her textures were used here; first "Golden" set at luminance to lighten the area under the word art, then two layers of "Stained Linen" again at luminance. The word art is by Tina Chambers from Digital Scrapbook Place. To finish it off, I added a frame.

Tools of the Trade

For Texture Tuesday 31/5 on Kim Klassen's site.
A photo from my greenhouse.
Using the texture "Breakfree", which already had the gardening-friendly word "soak", I added a couple of other words and used the texture first set at "colour" 79%, then again as a grunge border. I reduced the photo opacity on the right,layering it over a third copy of the texture.


Below is the original

Chelsea Potter

For Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday. Yes, I know today is Wednesday, but if Barack Obama thinks it is 3 years ago, one day is nothing.
Here is a photo of a London pub. I used Kim's texture "Yesteryear", twice in fact and used sketch filters.

Time for Tea

Another "Texture Tuesday" at Kim's. This was a photo taken with my phone, so not the greatest quality, but using Kim Klassen's texture: "Golden" made it a more interesting. The main part of the process was to use the texture over the photo, set at hard light 87%. I added another photo layer emphasising the edges of the cup. A copy of the original, shows difference.
