13 May market mums {133/365}

My Husband gave me mums on Mother’s Day. hardi-har-har.

I turned them into this …

Fun!  I started out with a few actions and some adjustment layers and then I threw a few textures on there, most notably ‘market square’ from the talented Kim Klassen. Pretty, isn’t it?   Check out her photo stream … seriously beautiful.  And her textures are for sale now!  Go Kim!

And now I’m late posting this because I messed around for over an hour trying to get a mouseover code to work for the before and after.

I stand defeated.

For now, anyways.

So yeah, no fancy mouseover lookit me code happening here.  Here’s the before …

I love playing around with textures. The only drawback is that I can quite lose track of time messing around trying to get things looking just the way I want them. Before you know it, I have fifteen layers going on in photoshop and I’m ready to hit delete and start over because I’ve thoroughly confused myself. heh.

I suppose there are worse ways to spend my time ;)
