The Inspired Weekend

What is about Spring that has our minds spinning with creative ideas?  My eyes can't get enough of seeing our surroundings. My hands want to sew, paint, and stamp. My legs want to walk down new paths. My heart wants to take it all in. Embrace Spring's Creativity with eyes, hands, feet, and heart too!

Advanced Photo Editing Lesson:
  1. Download the Free Windsong Texture
  2. Drop the texture over your image
  3. Blend on softlight
  4. Add a vector mask
  5. Brush away texture from your subject 
Tip - I used a soft round brush with an opacity of 37%

    Kristy, this photo is so soft and springy! Thank you for the free texture! I'm looking forward to giving it a try! I know what a layer mask is now, but I'll have to look up what a vector mask is ... just getting the hang of Photoshop! Your site has been so helpful to me recently, thank you. :D

    Oh your blog and work are both breathtaking (ah I need to change my google from CrunchyVTMommy to VeronicaArmstrong but anyway) I have so many textures and rarely use them. I am going to try the vector mask this weekend. Thanks so much for sharing.

    It's beautiful! I'm looking forward to trying some of your textures! I'm not sure if I know what the vector mask is. I could be using it though and not even know it. lol. Thanks again for sharing your talents. Your work is always inspiring.
