Seeing Green Photo Contest Contest Entry
I would love to tell you everything I did, but I can't remember! LOL I hope what I've written here gives you a general idea.
This started with a single shot of a fern leaf. I traced around every leaflet on the fern and added black between the leaves. Then I added black for the background. It took me two days do do that. The kaleidoscope designs took several hours. I liked the border I created but took out the original center. I played with the border and created a center for this piece. When I flattened the design I gave it another whirl and created a new design. I copied the center then went back to the previous design and pasted a small overlay to put over the center. I also lightly embossed the border ferns.I know it sounds confusing! LOL I just keep designing till I have something I really like. There are several layers in the final design. I hope you enjoy my entry for the "green contest! :O)
Thans SO much for stopping by!
