Beyond Layers Homework

My good friend Betty, purchased Kim Klassen's class, Beyond Layers, for me. I am thrilled and delighted to be in this year long course on learning how to better my photography.

 For the Coreopsis in the bottle, I used KK Evolve, with Vivid Light at 40%, then brushed texture off the flowers and bottle. Next layer, Evolve 2, Soft Light at 48% and brushed over the flowers and bottle.

 On the photo above, I used KK canvas love. Can't remember the blending mode. Will write it down next time. Then I used her Paper 4, set the blending mode to Soft Light at 24% opacity. Next layer, I added Paper 3, Soft Light at 48% opacity. On all three layers, I brushed off the textures at 86% opacity.

 

For this foxglove photo I started with KK texture, Awaken, blending mode was Screen at 35% opacity. Then brushed the petals with a soft black brush to remove the texture, 86% opacity. Next layer, I ran Awaken again, this time with Soft Light at 48% and brushed the texture off the flower. Last, I used KK Summer love in Overlay mode at 45% brushing off the flower again. Ended with a Coffee Shop vignette action.

May the peace, happiness and love of Jesus be with you today and always!

My Sunday Best

I added my own texture to this photo. It is called "Bread of Life". Email if you want the jpeg. I would be happy to share it.

Hope y'all had a wonderful Resurrection celebration! I was a very relaxing day at our house.

We attended the Vigil Mass on Saturday night.

Never did get to coloring my eggs in time!

Peace, love and joy to you this Easter week!

Texture Tuesday

Textured with Kim Klassen's "The ladder".

Hi, my sweet peeps! What are you doing today? I hope that you are having a good one so far.

I am undergoing what is called a pill cam scan....where electrodes are placed all around the abdomen. I swallowed a ginormous capsule that contains a mini camera. It is hooked up to a small computer and I have to walk around with it until 4:30 today.

Soooo, I am having fun here editing photos for some linky parties. The one above is textured with Kim Klassen's "poetic", "fall in love" and "silent night". Then I clicked on "content" on Photoshop Elements and chose this aged frame.

Here is the same photo with another frame from "content".

 

The sun is shining, the birds are singing and my husband is home doing my laundry. It doesn't get much better than that!

Blessings to you!
