Blossom

 
 
Another experiment after watching another interesting PS tutorial.

This time I went for a different kind of effect. I've always had a thing about Art Nouveau and the way they create something almost magical but in a simple way with subtle colour and ornamental effects. This is my version of an Art Nouveau poster.

I've used a stock photo by M3ment0M0ri of an actress (I believe) called Maude Fealy and a texture by Dazzle-Textures called Destructive News.

The rest of the images/textures are mine, namely a photo of a cherry blossom and one of my Victorian Wallpaper textures.

  3. This is lovely Sybille - I've been hopping backwards and forwards comparing the original stock photo with the finished 'Blossom' artwork and it's been very interesting to see what you have done. Bfn, Lesley
