Everyday Elements & Show Your Skills!!

So I have mentioned Amanda from Everyday Elements before… Well, today, she is hosting a “show your skills” editing challenge.  Really, just a fun way to play with a picture and show off your skills…

Here is Amanda’s original.  Its lovely, don’t you agree?

And below, is my edit… I used a few different actions, but played around with the blending modes and opacity…. I tweaked two of my favorite textures and used them in overlay mode.  Another thing I did was copy the background image, dropped the opacity really low, and layered it over the finished product, just to bring back some of the detail in the original picture.  Snazzy, right? Thanks, Amanda for hosting a fun challenge… Hope my edit has done your work justice.
