The Texture Touch


This is what I call "Country Skyscrapers"! We saw a lot of these on your recent road trip across the American Plains.

  1. To give the sky a lovely shade of aqua drop and drag the sometimes cool texture over your image
  2. Select the overlay blending mode and lower the opacity to just the right blue
  3. To add a vintage appeal drop on the wanderlust overlay #3
  4. Blend this layer on overlay and reduce the opacity to 50%

    I think you could be right about the barn collapsing behind the trees, but that silo still makes for a great subject... love the windmill, too! Wouldn't mind exploring the trees to find the barn if it wasn't so grown over... I don't get along w/ ticks & chiggers too well! LoL!

    Thanks so much for joining, Kristy! =)
