Description


Original is a photo of one of my roses, which I duplicated, resized, and transfered to several combined grunge and texture layers. I have as much fun hunting down and photographing cool textures as I do the flowers!

Thanks for looking!

Love the strong vintage look you've created!!! You're obviously very good at this grunge and texture thing, which I have yet to experiment with :o) Super job Cindy!! #6704322

Karen, Barbara, Stef, Margaret, Brett and Kathleen - thank you all for you kind and gracious comments!

Thanks everybody for your well-wishes regarding my back surgery. It will be 4 weeks Monday the 10th since my surgery. While not totally pain free and still movement restricted, I'm off narcotics and feeling a bit better each every day. I'm really glad its behind me -- its been tough on everybody and the recovery has not been the least bit easy.

Karen - no, I don't know of any tutorials, but I didn't search it out. I just went through my files and selected images that I thought would work together - its a bit of an experiment. #6730617

Looks like you've been bitten by the grunge bug too, Cindy! Awesome floral and textures. I know what you mean about having as much fun hunting down new textures to use.

Wishing you a speedy recovery from here on out! #6747985

How did I miss this! Just realized I overlooked it when this was attached at the bottom of email you sent to me other day. This is quite an artwork Cindy! Composite is exquisite. Colors are wonderful too. True Cindy style! #6794688
