Home Bench

 

Front bench with and then some texture

For our challenge this week for Texture Tuesday we were to use the texture “and then some”.  I used it on a photo of the little bench by the front door.   I used the texture twice with blending modes of lighten and softlight.  I did use a layer mask to take of texture where I did not want it.  I even added a little bit of whimsy with some Halloween brushes.  

I will be joining Kim Klassen for Texture Tuesday and also Lisa Gordon at the Creative Exchange.    Have a great week.  Valerie

Nice to see your work on Texture Tuesdays. This is such a fun image. I like that you dressed it up with a bit of Halloween.
Your fall montage is wonderful too.

The mood of the texture and the spider is whimsical yet a little mysterious! I love it. Thank you for sharing. I have a link up for altered tone photos (sepia, black and white, etc) that I would love if you joined!
