The Texture Touch: Sweet Hearts

Before and After Edition

texture.ology:
  1. layer the cinnamon texture on top of your photograph
  2. set the blending mode of the texture to darken
  3. lower the opacity of the texture to 60%
  4. add fading script as the 2nd texture layer
  5. set the blending of this layer to overlay
  6. reduce the opacity of the 2nd texture to 50%


I was stirring my hot cocoa made with Mom's recipe the other day and fell in love with the sweet heart shapes of the cinnamon sticks. Have you ever noticed that?

    Beautiful photos! We haven't had cinnamon sticks in a while. My son loves to eat them just as they are. :)
