MariJ Posted February 15, 2022 This is gorgeous and I love your sketch/watercolor - it's beautiful. I like how you included the original photo and framed it so elegantly. I also really like the line you created with the flowers and pearls - it's lovely. PS Wondering what the photo technique is you've used here and on another page? I really like how it comes out!

mimes1 Posted February 15, 2022 This is exceedingly gorgeous! I love the swirl of blossoms that you created, the photo treatment is so creative and the bow on the bouquet that is also sketched looks like one can reach out and touch it. It’s gorgeous. The diamond swirl is beautiful. So much detail to look at! I really love everything about this layout! Quote Link to comment

PS Wondering what the photo technique is you've used here and on another page? I really like how it comes out! Marilyn, it has been a few weeks since I created this LO, so I don't remember exactly what I did to the main photo. I am pretty sure that I did a two-stage filter in PSE. I think I did a water color filter and then applied a colored pencil filter and messed with the edge settings. Doing the water color first sort of fudges up the edges, making them less distinct for the colored pencil filter. I also erased in different opacities along the edges and a little through the middle to let the background paper bleed through and give it an uneven, mask-like edge. I hope this helps.

MariJ Posted February 15, 2022 @Celestine Thank you, yes that is helpful. I understand that often I can't recreate or remember something I've done - even immediately after! I know Jody used to use a "Find Edges" layer about a colored one too. This gives me a few things to try, thank you! Quote Link to comment
BarbieB Posted February 15, 2022 The watercolor sketching is amazing. The bow really does look like you could reach out and touch it. Quote Link to comment
bitzee Posted February 15, 2022 This is an amazing page and a great way to remember a special bouquet. The swirly flowers, ribbons and pearls frame it beautifully. The many different shades of pink add wonderful texture and depth. I love the sketch treatment on the picture of the bouquet. And I agree that the ribbon is very touchable. Quote Link to comment
