I put texture below rose photo, lowered opacity on texture & erased to let rose come through, color burned rose layer & burned around edges.

Looks Beautiful Christell.

Thanks, Gary...
I would offer you a plastic glass of champagne but it seems that you drank them all.
Wouldn't that picture make a good challenge to see what everyone would come up with. You were so creative with it.

It's lovely Christell!! A+ for you!

I tried another on. I put texture on face. Same texture is the background.

I lived 20 miles from here for 36 years and went to Navy Pier in Chicago many times. This summer I went for the first time as a tourist and took this picture. When walking down Navy Pier I think for the first time I really appreciated being there because I knew it could be years before I get back there.

Instead of a traditional texture I decided on the fireworks. It looks like some of them are shooting right out of the boat at the dock.

Julie... anything goes in kimi homework.

Very creative and I love the shot!!

Baad Kimi. You've turned me into a texture junky!!! I finally had to tear myself away from that site before I downloaded so many textures I'd never get my homework done.

Hey Christell, I tried your way of doing this another time and here is the result. Too many choices over at Deviant Art!

Oooooh Esther, that came out beautiful. I love that texture. It is addicting isn't it. My PSE creation folder is getting full. Soon time to burn to disc & delete some from folder.
