Photo Art

grungy dogwood

Real life has kept me so busy this week...for Photo Art Friday, the suggested prompt was to create a piece of photo art based around our favorite book. What a clever prompt, and a thoughtful one, too - unfortunately, last night I hadn't even had time to start thinking about what to do. So this week I simply picked a flower photo and spent a few minutes adding layers until I liked it. This was a close-up shot of a dogwood flower - I used Bonnie's "Fabrique" texture and also several other layers, including a public domain image for the flower center (using a reverse layer mask). I was happy with the "grungy" effect. I'm also linking up to Leanne's Flower Art Friday (both her and Bonnie's Photo Art Friday buttons are at the bottom of this post). Happy Friday, everyone~~
