These before and after photos show the effects of my efforts. I actually tried several different textures on this photo of my swing and settled on one from Jessica Sprague (the only one in my digital supply "stash" before the Skinny Mini e-course).
I had a blast cropping and changing the look of these roses. I used the greyday vintage and the februarymagic textures from the eCourse. I think it makes the photo look like a painting.
And lastly, my favorite - I took this photo back in March. This is the first church I remember attending as a toddler and pre-schooler. I took this photo thinking I might use it on a scrapbook page about the beginning of my faith. I absolutely love the way the Paper Stained Light texture makes this photo look! Now, if I can find time, maybe I can at least write the journaling about it for Sian's upcoming Storytelling Sunday.
I am definitely going to be using textures more on my photos. Kim Klassen offers free textures when you sign up for her Texture Lovin' List, which I promptly did and have already added several more textures to my "stash."
Lovely examples of using textures, especially the one of the church.
ReplyDeleteReally love the last one Melissa - actually makes it look like the photo could have been taken when you were a toddler!

Glad you are having fun with the textures! It can be quite addictive ..
ReplyDeleteI'm seeing all the fantastic results you are all having with these textures (that last one is so evocative) and I'm thinking I need to give this a go!
ReplyDeleteWow, how absolutely fun and stunning. Can't wait until she offers this again, I missed it this time!
ReplyDeleteNice! I love Kim's textures, and I especially like the effect of them on your last photo.
