Soft Patina Texture Lesson

[lifenreflection]

I just love a bouquet freshly picked from the garden! Of course roses are nice too, but I'd take garden bouquet over a dozen red roses any day.
It just has more character for me. And these are easier to dry!



Give your image a soft patina:

1. Layer the Breathe Cool Texture over your image
2. Drag the edges of texture until it covers your entire image
3. In the layers palette select the soft light blending mode
4. Slide the opacity to 75%
5. Duplicate the texture layer [Ctrl J]
6. Return to the layers palette and select the darker color blending mode
7. Hold the opacity of this top layer at 100%

Now you have turned an ordinary white background into a work of art!
