...it must be textures!
Kim challenged us this week to use 2 or more textures on our photo along with trying something "new."
Like many folks just beginning to play with textures, I tend to stay with a few tried and true ones. Ditto for the blending modes; I have a few that I consider "fail safe." This time, though, I pushed a bit in both areas.
My recipe:
Corrugated Cardboard, color burn at 80%
Magic Framed, soft light at 68%
Be Still, Color Burn at 62%
I removed a bit of texture from the lighthouse and bushes each time.
Corrugated Cardboard, Magic Framed, and color burn are all new territory, and I really do like what happened here. It seems to have a very "old" feel to it - and something well loved and well worn. (I think I've just described myself!)
Texture Tuesdays, past and present, can be found here.
Oh, interesting effect. Almost like an old tintype, except for the color. Looks like rust on the lighthouse! I have yet to try textures. I'm going to have to give it a shot soon.
