While I don’t think this is a good image technically (it’s too dark and busy…) I like the “feel” of this one. It reminds me of a Christmas card, or even a scene from The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. I thought I would run with that for my editing assignment and make it look like an old fashioned Hallmark card.

Watercolor and parchment are my go-to when it comes to texture overlays. Instead of finding one online, I made my own. It was nice to work with watercolor again.

I blended the two together by using the blending mode “linear light” on the parchment layer, and then used a large, soft eraser to reduce the opacity of the texture in spots. I’m pleased with the way it looks like both a painting, and a scene you might see outside of a foggy window.

This is my cousin’s daughter KayAnne! This little girl is so photogenic, my goodness. Every time I aimed the camera at her she’d give me these beautiful, natural looking smiles and wait patiently until she heard the click. I typed out the text (Gill Sans MT) and then changed the blending mode to overlay to get the transparent text effect.
