Flower Art Friday - 08/24/2012


This is the last gladiolus from the garden with some caryopteris and catnip thrown in. I love the combination of yellow and purple flowers.

Edited in Pixlr using Vintage Craquelure, a free texture from Bonnie at Pixel Dust Photo Art. (Layer Multiply 75%, duplicate layer Overlay 51%, flatten image, lighten image, add border, add watermark.) Jeez, I hope that makes sense! LOL!!
I want to thank everyone who puts that kind of info on their photo art, it is really helping me start to figure out how to do some of this stuff! :)

Linking with Flower Art Friday, Floral Friday Fotos, Weekly Top Shot and Your Sunday Best.

  4. Hi Candy!
    That is so pretty.

    I'm thinking this photo is meant to look like a painting with some crackling going on, to look aged?!
    Cause ...that's what I thought it was.

    great job. It's beautiful.
    I'd hang it in my room on my flower collage wall!

  13. Beautiful effects! It looks very soft and painterly -- and quite worthy of a frame and nice spot on the wall.

  18. Well, I'd say you've figured some things out really well - this is LOVELY!

  19. Very nice work here. I agree with the yellow and purple mixture - it is a natural (look at pansies!). Also by using a plain glass jar you did not distract from the beauty. Very nice editing and to think I just do some cropping and light adjustment - how boring!!

  20. Very nicely done -- the only little thing I might suggest is to brush away a little of the texture on your main subject -- it will make it stand out more. But it's beautiful as is.
