Glamour Look

Before:


And After:

The rings and hearts are from my Endless Bliss kit and the photo edges is from my Spring Painting kit

This is how I added the glamor look: open the photo in Adobe Photoshop or other program that do similar job, than stack the layers to match this combination:
layer 4 - B/W photo (red channel only), blend mode: soft light
layer 3 - same as layer 4 so you can just copy this layer
layer 2 - actual photo, adjust the levels if necessary, blend mode: soft light
layer 1 - copy of the photo, gaussian blured radius 2-4 pixels, blend mode: normal

Another one that I did for a couple of friends of mine:

And After

Photo edge is from my freebies

FREEBIES: Almost junk cardboard pieces

These cool looking pieces of cardboards were almost thrown at the garbage. I found it at the bottom of a box when we got home from Costco. The box was used to bring small unbagged groceries to the house from the car. Apparently this piece of loose cardboard with tag shaped holes was supposed to be cans holder so the cans won't move from their places in the box.

I scanned then tore and scanned so you have two looks of the cardboard. Here's how they look:


I used them in this layout:

The elements used are from my Endless Bliss kit :

And It's Party Time kit:


Now go ahead grab the cardboard mounts :)
There are two pieces of cardboard, each with and without shadows. Get them: here

FREEBIES: Photo edges

This is a photo of me, DS and friends during Chinese New Year gathering. I played with it and sent it to friends.

The swirl is from my Endless Bliss kit.

I got carried away creating photo edges so I created another one for you, one sized 6x4 inches saved at 300 dpi (fit and not fit to layout) and the other one is 6x6 inches 300 dpi (fit and not fit to layout's edge). The photo is mine and not copyright free.
