Hi Everyone, I saw this tutorial on
Snickerdoodles and thought I would see if I could start adding extra layers and styles to my photographs. Here is my take on the idea. Apart from the edges I don't have the DP or images to use, so started with a photo of The Mumbles which is on the Gower coast a beautiful area and thankfully not too far from us.
I used the freebie edge from Snickerdoodles, a free texture by
skeletalmess over the photo, then added a new layer of "dark scratches" I have had this since 2006, so don't know where from - sorry. Then added shadows, and a few more layer styles also the paper and tape and added styles to them too. This is quite a departure for me as I don't usually like to "mess things up" too much, but all in all I am quite pleased at what can be achieved with PS. I also used a paper torn brush
here there are 38 shapes.
Here are a few more photos taken on the same day a few weeks ago.
